dwindown 4471cd600f feat: Complete markdown syntax refinement and variable protection
 New cleaner syntax implemented:
- [card:type] instead of [card type='type']
- [button:style](url)Text[/button] instead of [button url='...' style='...']
- Standard markdown images: ![alt](url)

 Variable protection from markdown parsing:
- Variables with underscores (e.g., {order_items_table}) now protected
- HTML comment placeholders prevent italic/bold parsing
- All variables render correctly in preview

 Button rendering fixes:
- Buttons work in Visual mode inside cards
- Buttons work in Preview mode
- Button clicks prevented in visual editor
- Proper styling for solid and outline buttons

 Backward compatibility:
- Old syntax still supported
- No breaking changes

 Bug fixes:
- Fixed order_item_table → order_items_table naming
- Fixed button regex to match across newlines
- Added button/image parsing to parseMarkdownBasics
- Prevented button clicks on .button and .button-outline classes

Converter Fixed - All Content Now Displays!

Problem Solved! 🎉

The visual builder and code mode now display ALL content from templates, not just the last button!


The Issue

Before: Only the last button showed in the editor

  • Visual Builder: Only 1 button visible
  • Code Mode: Only 1 line of HTML
  • Preview: Everything rendered correctly

Why: The htmlToBlocks() converter was:

  1. Only looking for [card] syntax
  2. Not recognizing <div class="card"> HTML (from markdown conversion)
  3. Skipping all unrecognized content

The Solution

Updated converter.ts

What Changed:

  1. Now recognizes both [card] syntax AND <div class="card"> HTML
  2. Properly extracts all cards regardless of format
  3. Preserves all content between cards
  4. Handles markdown-converted HTML correctly

New Regex:

// Match both [card] syntax and <div class="card"> HTML
const cardRegex = /(?:\[card([^\]]*)\]([\s\S]*?)\[\/card\]|<div class="card(?:\s+card-([^"]+))?"[^>]*>([\s\S]*?)<\/div>)/gs;

New Card Detection:

// Check both [card] and <div class="card">
let cardMatch = part.match(/\[card([^\]]*)\]([\s\S]*?)\[\/card\]/s);

if (cardMatch) {
  // [card] syntax
  content = cardMatch[2].trim();
  cardType = typeMatch ? typeMatch[1] : 'default';
} else {
  // <div class="card"> HTML syntax
  const htmlCardMatch = part.match(/<div class="card(?:\s+card-([^"]+))?"[^>]*>([\s\S]*?)<\/div>/s);
  if (htmlCardMatch) {
    cardType = htmlCardMatch[1] || 'default';
    content = htmlCardMatch[2].trim();
  }
}

How It Works Now

Loading Flow:

1. Template loaded (markdown format)
   ↓
2. Markdown converted to HTML
   [card] → <div class="card">
   ↓
3. htmlToBlocks() called
   ↓
4. Recognizes BOTH formats:
   - [card]...[/card]
   - <div class="card">...</div>
   ↓
5. Extracts ALL cards
   ↓
6. Creates blocks for visual builder
   ↓
7. ALL content displays! ✅

What's Fixed

Visual Builder:

  • Before: Only 1 button visible
  • After: All cards and buttons visible!

Code Mode:

  • Before: Only 1 line of HTML
  • After: Complete HTML with all cards!

Preview:
