Doesn't work on pages linked via `alias` about docsify-tabs

Hi @oeway --

Happy to help, but I don't see a changelog link on either the real or working example you provided above.

It's worth mentioning that the URL you're using for the changelog is incorrect (it return a 404 error). The correct URLs includes the extension:

window.$docsify = {
  alias: {
    '/changelog':
      'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docsifyjs/docsify/master/CHANGELOG.md',
  },
};

Hi @jhildenbiddle Thank you!
Sorry for the confusion, it was just for illustration. For the real example, see here for the configuration, and here is the rendered version which isn't working. I have a working version here which loads the markdown from a relative path.

One thing I noticed is that raw.githubusercontent.com sets Content-Type to text/plain; charset=utf-8 in the response for markdown files while other hosts (like imjoy.io) set that value to text/markdown. I'm not sure if this is the issue, but testing is easy enough by using a host the sets the Content-Type header appropriately for your alias. Fortunately, jsDelivr already hosts your repo's content (since it hosts all GitHub content) and sets Content-Type to text/markdown; charset=utf-8.

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/imjoy-team/ImJoy/docs/api.md

Let me know if that solves the issue. If not, then we'll determine nexts steps.

Hi @jhildenbiddle Thanks a lot for figuring out the difference, I just tested by using the jsdelivr url (great tip! BTW), and it doesn't seem to work, I still go the same result

Hi @oeway --

Been a while, but I'm (finally) getting around to unresolved GitHub issues. Apologies for the delay.

The issue appears to be related to loading content from another domain and not specifically with the use of an alias. To verify, try creating an alias to a markdown file that contains a tab set on the same domain as your index.html. You will see that tabs are rendered as expected.

This is a docsify-related issue that cannot be resolved by docsify-tabs (or any other plugin). My recommendation is to create an issue in the docsify repo so that it can be addressed properly. I am happy to continue the investigation there once the issue has been created.

Thanks!
