How to Enable 3rd Party Python Markdown Extensions

[RoyiAvital]

Is there a simple guide how to enable 3rd party (Not pymdown-extensions) inside Markdown Preview?

As a test case I suggest https://github.com/Evidlo/markdown_captions.
Also, it would be nice to define parameters. In the case above there aren't but let's assume there is param1 we want to set to `true.

Remark: Related to facelessuser/pymdown-extensions#1341.

I'll try and take a look at this sometime soon. Many extensions may work fine, some may require some backporting (Sublime is on Python 3.3). Though, at some point in the future, I'm going to update Markdown Preview to use ST4's new Python 3.8 framework.

Whether we use markdown_captions as an example or some toy example, we can most likely put together a real-world, testable example.

While I don't have documentation up. If you wanted to use Markdown Captions extension, simply download the zip, copy the markdown_captions folder that contains the source code. I just downloaded the master branch and copied the folder markdown_captions-master/markdown_captions to Sublime's Packages folder.

And then added the plugin the to the settings:

"markdown_extensions": [
        "markdown.extensions.footnotes",
        "markdown.extensions.attr_list",
        "markdown.extensions.def_list",
        "markdown.extensions.tables",
        "markdown.extensions.abbr",
        "pymdownx.highlight",
        "pymdownx.betterem",
        "markdown_captions.markdown_captions", // <-- Added here
        // more extensions

That's it. Worked fine.

That's great!

So in case of parameters just use the same from as with other packages?

[facelessuser]

Yeah, it's all generalized. There's nothing special about the already shipped plugins vs. user installed.
