Hi!

I have troubles configuring elm layer

https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/master/layers/%2Blang/elm

The instructions says

Also, note that if you use homebrew to install elm-format the installed exe has a version suffix, the installed command name can be set in your ~/spacemacs:

(elm :variables
     elm-format-command "elm-format-0.17")

But where exactly should I place that (elm) function call?

I’ve tried to put it under dotspacemacs/user-config () but that spawns an error on emacs start

@achikin It should go to your dotspacemacs-configuration-layers

it's a layer config

So, instead of just elm I should write (elm :variables bla-bla) right?

yeah

Thank you very much!

Glad I could help

anyone have any advice for rendering markdown inside spacemacs?

@alexkeyes I use the default markdown layer, which IIRC pops up a preview in the browser.

But if you run across something better, I’d love to know about it.

okay I’ll poke around the internet

Looks like the markdown layer has a swappable engine, so you might be able to get it to preview in other ways. http://spacemacs.org/layers/+lang/markdown/README.html

okay
