A tool that helps parse markdown.

You can find the test md file here.

• Convert markdown to html

  λ> import Data.ByteString as BS
  λ> s <- BS.readFile "test-data/test.md"
  λ> convertMD s
  <h1>
  h1 Heading
  </h1>
  <p>
  
  </p>
  <h2>
  h2 Heading
  </h2>
  <p>
  
  ... blah blah
  

  An already converted html corresponding to test.md is converted-test.html

• Convert to AST

  λ> import Data.Attoparsec.ByteString
  λ> import Data.ByteString as BS
  λ> :set -XOverloadedStrings
  λ> s <- BS.readFile "test-data/test.md"
  λ> traverse (Prelude.putStrLn.(<>"\n").show) $ fromRight $ parseOnly (many' mdElem) (s <> "\n")
