     // ...
     chat: {
       // chat panel title
       title: "Dialog",
       // set avatar url
       users: [
         { nickname: "Yuki", avatar: "" },
         { nickname: "Robot", avatar: "" },
       ],
     },
   };
   

Usage

1. Define a chat set using chat:start and chat:end HTML comments.

   HTML comments are used to mark the start and end of a chat set.

   <!-- chat:start -->
   
   ...
   
   <!-- chat:end -->
   

2. Define chat within a message set using heading + bold markdown.

   Heading text will be used as the user nickname, and all proceeding content will be associated with that chat up to start of the next message or a chat:end comment.

   <!-- chat:start -->
   
   #### **Yuki**
   
   hello
   
   #### **Robot**
   
   hello world
   
   <!-- chat:end -->
   

3. Generate and display your chat panel.

   If you do not specify a user avatar, the initials of the nickname will be displayed by default.

Postscript

Because I wrote a chatbot framework, I needed a chat panel for illustrate. before I took screenshots directly in the software, but it felt too troublesome. I was thinking why can't it be generated directly with markdown? I've been looking for a long time, but I can't find any similar plugins, so I made one myself.

In order to save time, the syntax refers to docsify-tabs, which took only half a day to make. Although it basically meets daily use, there may be some unknown bugs.
