Feature request: Support MD in argument instead of file about md-toc HOT 4 CLOSED

Ok, thanks.

Which existing functions in md-toc version 8.0.0 need to be modified for this?

from md-toc.

build_toc could either accept another argument with a Stream or the parsing could be moved out to a separate function build_toc_from_stream using a Stream as input. build_toc could then open the file and call build_toc_from_stream. I could then use build_toc_from_stream directly on my side.

from md-toc.

Ok, you can create a separate function.

If possible add unit tests. You can open a PR on the dev branch when you are done.

I will close this issue again.
I discoverd your '-' filename feature and can override stdin with my StringIO:

    # Generate TOC from variable
    with StringIO(md_input) as md:
        stdin = sys.stdin
        sys.stdin = md
        toc = md_toc.build_toc('-', keep_header_levels=toc_levels, skip_lines=skip_lines)
        sys.stdin = stdin
