#Markdown parser written in Clojure
A markdown parser which compiles to both Clojure and ClojureScript.
You can try out the parser here.
Leiningen
[markdown-clj "0.9.20"]
To build the Clojure jar
lein install
To compile the ClojureScript portion
lein cljsbuild once
Markdown-clj can be invoked either by calling md-to-html
which takes two parameters, which will be passed to a reader and writer respectively, eg:
(ns foo
(:use markdown.core))
(md-to-html "input.md" "output.html")
(md-to-html (input-stream "input.md") (output-stream "test.txt"))
or by calling md-to-html-string
which accepts a string with markdown content and returns a string with the resulting HTML:
(md-to-html-string "# This is a test\nsome code follows\n```clojure\n(defn foo [])\n```")
<h1> This is a test</h1>some code follows<pre class="brush: clojure">
(defn foo [])
</pre>
Finally, md-to-html
and md-to-html-string
can accept optional parameters:
Specifying :heading-anchors
will create anchors for the heading tags, eg:
(markdown/md-to-html-string "###foo bar BAz" :heading-anchors true)
<h3><a name=\"heading\" class=\"anchor\" href=\"#foo_bar_baz></a>foo bar BAz</h3>
Specifying :code-style
will override the default code class formatting for code blocks, eg:
(md-to-html-string "# This is a test\nsome code follows\n```clojure\n(defn foo [])\n```"
:code-style #(str "class=\"" % "\""))
<h1> This is a test</h1>some code follows<pre class="clojure">
(defn foo [])
</pre>
Control characters can be escaped using \
\*
\`
\_
\(
\)
\[
\]
\{
\}
Blockquote, Bold, Emphasis, Heading, Italics, Line, Paragraph, Strikethrough
Code Block, Indented Code, Inline Code
the number of hashes indicates the level of the heading
# Heading
##Sub-heading
### Sub-sub-heading
***
* * *
*****
- - -
*foo*
_foo_
**foo**
__foo__
>This is a blockquote
with some content
>this is another blockquote
This is a paragraph, it's
split into separate lines.
This is another paragraph.
indenting an item makes it into a sublist of the item above it, ordered and unordered lists can be nested within one another. List items can be split over multiple lines.
* Foo
* Bar
* Baz
* foo
* bar
* baz
1. foo
2. bar
more content
## subheading
***
**bold text** in the list
* fuzz
* blah
* blue
* brass
1. Foo
2. Bar
3. Baz
Any special characters in code will be escaped with their corresponding HTML codes.
Here's some code `x + y = z` that's inlined.
Using three backquotes indicates a start of a code block, the next three backquotes ends the code block section. Optionally, the language name can be put after the backquotes to produce a tag compatible with the Syntax Highlighter, eg:
```clojure
(defn foo [bar] "baz")
```
indenting by at least 4 spaces creates a code block

note: XML is escaped in code sections
~~foo~~
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
