Contribution Points

Contribution points are the keys of contributes in the manifest. Each one adds something to Typora. Start with the lowest tier that does the job: L0 needs no code, installs without a permission prompt (unless it uses the network), and is the easiest to review for the store.

L0 — declarative

Contribution	Adds	Example
themes	Themes: fonts, colours and element styles for documents and the window	Solarized
templates, snippets	Document templates and insertable snippets	Meeting notes, a theorem block
customFormats	Toggleable wrappers such as coloured text	<span style="color:teal">…</span>
keyBindings	Default shortcuts for Typora's or your own commands	Mod+Alt+T → insert table
texMacros	Global MathJax macros	\R → \mathbb{R}
mathjax	MathJax fonts and TeX packages (components that run in the math Worker)	STIX Two, a chess package
localizations, dictionaries	Interface translations and Hunspell spelling dictionaries	Deutsch
inputRules	Auto-pairs and text replacements as you type	（ → （）
inlineRules	Decoration and ⌘/Ctrl-click actions over matched text	#123 → issue link
fenceRenderers with kroki	Diagrams drawn by a Kroki server	```plantuml
detailViews with query	Lists of matching blocks or inlines in the detail panel	Open tasks
configuration	A settings form for your extension	Server URL

L1 — pages

Contribution	Adds
fenceRenderers with entry	Your own renderer for a fence language: static (returns SVG) or interactive (a live frame per fence)
detailViews with entry	A page in the detail panel, optionally fed the document's blocks
fileViewers	A viewer (and editor) for a file type

Pages use the View SDK.

L2 — logic

Contribution	Adds
commands, menus	Commands in the palette, / menu and editor context menu, handled in main
detailViews with provider: "main"	A list computed by a checker in main
fenceRenderers with resolver: true	main picks the page and talks to it
fileViewers resolved from main	main picks the page and handles messages
publishAdapters	Blog publishing shared by the CLI and desktop, handled in main
imageUploaders	An image uploader in Settings ▸ Image, handled in main
syncProviders	A desktop file-sync backend in Settings ▸ Files, handled in main
Formatters	Registered from main with typora.formatters

Scripts use the Worker API.

Where contributions appear

• Items from an extension are grouped under the extension's name in menus, palettes and Settings.
• Templates, snippets and custom formats from extensions are read-only in Settings; users can't edit them in place.
• Disabling, uninstalling or reloading an extension removes all of its contributions immediately.
