Module ringo/markdown

A fast and extensible Markdown formatter.

Functions


process (text, [extension])

Converts a string of Markdown formatted text to HTML.

Passing in an optional JavaScript object as argument allows the caller to override behaviour in the markdown processor. Specifically, the following methods can be overridden:

  • getLink(id) called to resolve Markdown link ids. Takes a single string id as argument and must return an array containing the target link and the target link title. If this returns null, the markdown link will not be rendered as HTML link.

  • openTag(tagname, buffer) called when a HTML tag is opened. tagname is an HTML tag such as pre or div, buffer is a java.lang.StringBuffer to append to. The function can be used to create HTML tags with additional attributes.
