Shiki syntax highlighting

Pre-render language-hinted fenced code blocks with Shiki before marked.

Requirements

• Docker (or Podman with DOCKER_CMD=podman)
• That's it — everything else runs inside containers.

Quick start

# 1. Pull the dev image and set up .env
./ldcmd setup

# 2. Start the dev environment (app + Redis)
./ldcmd up

# 3. Open http://localhost:5173 in your browser

# 4. Edit plugin sources — HMR applies automatically
# 5. Run tests
./ldcmd test

# 6. Check types and import boundaries
./ldcmd check

Directory layout

shiki.plugin.json   # Plugin manifest
shiki.ts            # Server entry (defineLimedocPlugin)
shiki_editor_tool.tsx  # Browser client (builds to client/*.js)
client/              # Pre-built browser bundles (committed)
limedoc.project.json # Store metadata (package download URLs)
compose.dev.yml      # Dev compose (uses the published limedoc-dev image)
ldcmd                # Bridge script — the only thing you run on your host
.env.example         # Env var template — copy to .env and fill in OIDC values

ldcmd commands

Command	What it does
./ldcmd setup	Pull limedoc-dev image, copy .env.example → .env
./ldcmd up	Start dev environment
./ldcmd down	Stop dev environment
./ldcmd logs [service]	Follow container logs
./ldcmd sh [service]	Open shell in container (default: app-dev)
./ldcmd test	Run plugin tests
./ldcmd fmt	Format sources
./ldcmd lint	Lint sources
./ldcmd check	Type-check + import boundary check
./ldcmd pack	Build zip + sha256 (CI also publishes sig.json)
./ldcmd publish	Pack and upload (needs .forgejo.env / PACKAGE_TOKEN)
./ldcmd plugin install <id>	Install a plugin dependency into the running env
./ldcmd plugin ls	List installed plugins

Building client bundles

# Inside the container (run after editing .tsx files)
./ldcmd sh
deno task plugin:build -- /limedoc/plugins/shiki.plugin

Or directly:

./ldcmd check  # runs build as part of the check

Packing and publishing

# Build the installable zip + sha256 sidecar (local)
./ldcmd pack

# Publish (needs .forgejo.env with PACKAGE_TOKEN, PACKAGE_OWNER)
./ldcmd publish

CI (Forgejo Actions, .forgejo/workflows/publish.yml) on push to main publishes zip + sha256 + sig.json to Packages and Releases. Pack CI signs the content hash with OpenBao Transit (Forgejo Actions OIDC). Actions secret PACKAGE_TOKEN only — PACKAGE_OWNER is in the workflow env.

Developing with plugin dependencies

Your plugin may depend on another plugin at runtime. Three ways to include it:

1. Install via ldcmd (easiest, needs the app running)

./ldcmd up
./ldcmd plugin install media   # fetches from PACKAGE_STORE_URL in .env

Set PACKAGE_STORE_URL in .env to point at the Forgejo package registry:

PACKAGE_STORE_URL=https://git.belowtoxic.cloud/api/packages/limedoc-plugins

2. Local bind-mount (no running app needed)

Download the pack zip, unzip it next to this directory, then add a volume to compose.dev.yml:

app-dev:
    volumes:
        - .:/limedoc/plugins/shiki.plugin
        # Add the dependency:
        - ../other-plugin.plugin:/limedoc/plugins/other.plugin

Then ./ldcmd up — the app loads all *.plugin directories in plugins/.

3. Multi-repo development (two plugins at once)

Check out the other plugin repo next to this one:

cd ..
git clone git@git.belowtoxic.cloud:limedoc-plugins/other.git other.plugin

Then add it as a bind-mount in compose.dev.yml as shown above. Both plugins are mounted into the same app instance. No special ldcmd support required — the app discovers every *.plugin directory at startup.

Startup order: The app loads plugins alphabetically. If your plugin requires another, the dependency must be present on disk for the load plan to resolve. The compose depends_on in the sidecar template ensures the worker sidecar is healthy before the app starts, but for plugin-to-plugin dependencies no extra compose configuration is needed.

CI / CD

Push to main → Forgejo Actions runs .forgejo/workflows/publish.yml:

1. Tests pass inside the limedoc-dev container
2. Client bundles built; boundary check passes
3. plugin:pack produces shiki-{version}.zip + .sha256
4. OpenBao signs the content hash → shiki-{version}.sig.json
5. Zip, sha256, and sig.json uploaded to the generic package registry (store)
6. Same artifacts attached to a Forgejo Release v{version} (operators)

The app installs plugins from the generic package registry at PACKAGE_STORE_URL.

Using Podman instead of Docker

# In .env (or export before running):
DOCKER_CMD=podman
./ldcmd up

ldcmd detects podman compose automatically.
