Preview tab for Eclipse Wikitext

2.2k views Asked by At

I used to be able to get a preview tab for Eclipse WikiText documents in Linux but in Neon it no longer appears. Is it possible to enable it for a Markdown file?

I can not reproduce your problem in my Eclipse Neon. It works as expected:

WikiText Editor

1) have you opened the file with the appropriate Editor?

Open With > WikiText Editor

2) Is wikitext installed in your Eclipse?

In the "Eclipse Installation Details" windows (open it with the Help Menu), do you see the WikiText plugins?

WikiText plugins - Eclipse Installation Details


For Ubuntu (as discussed in Bug 496323)

3) Is libwebkitgtk 3.0 installed?

Without libwebkitgtk the preview tab is missing:

WikiText without preview tab under Linux Ubuntu

Run

sudo apt install libwebkitgtk-3.0-0

Then everything works as expected:

WikiText with preview tab under Linux Ubuntu

Per Jonathan's comment, the GTK webkit dependency must be installed, e.g.

sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-3.0-0
