How to format Vim quickfix entries?

Question

This is the vim-script to generate Markdown outline:

fun! TOC()
    call setloclist(0, [])
    let save_cursor = getpos(\".\")
    call cursor(1, 1)
    whil         


        

Answer 1

I ended up implementing this on plasticboy/vim-markdown on this PR (with GIF animation) using set modifiable + substitution instead of conceal with something along:

function! b:Markdown_Toc()
    silent lvimgrep '^#' %
    vertical lopen
    let &winwidth=(&columns/2)
    set modifiable
    %s/\v^([^|]*\|){2,2} #//
    for i in range(1, line('$'))
        let l:line = getline(i)
        let l:header = matchstr(l:line, '^#*')
        let l:length = len(l:header)
        let l:line = substitute(l:line, '\v^#*[ ]*', '', '')
        let l:line = substitute(l:line, '\v[ ]*#*$', '', '')
        let l:line = repeat(' ', (2 * l:length)) . l:line
        call setline(i, l:line)
    endfor
    set nomodified
    set nomodifiable
endfunction
