Cgmd-parser NPM

cgmd-parser

A full-featured markdown parser and compiler, written in JavaScript. With syntax improvements. Built for speed.

Yet another fork?

Yes. But with some little feature. It support text (and other content) aligment.

=> Right aligned text

>=< Center aligned

<=> Justify content

cgmd render it as div, but with one of this clasees: md-align-right,md-align-center or md-justify-content. You must define styles for this blocks.

Install

npm install cgmd-parser --save

Usage

Minimal usage:

var md = require('cgmd-parser');
console.log(md('I am using __markdown__.'));
// Outputs: <p>I am using <strong>markdown</strong>.</p>

Example setting options with default values:

var marked = require('cgmd-parser');
marked.setOptions({
  renderer: new marked.Renderer(),
  gfm: true,
  tables: true,
  breaks: false,
  pedantic: false,
  sanitize: false,
  smartLists: true,
  smartypants: false
});

console.log(marked('I am using __markdown__.'));

Browser

<!doctype html>

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8"/>
  <title>Marked in the browser</title>
  <script src="lib/cgmd-parser.js"></script>

marked(markdownString ,options)

markdownString

Type: string

String of markdown source to be compiled.

options

Type: object

Hash of options. Can also be set using the marked.setOptions method as seen above.

callback

Type: function

Function called when the markdownString has been fully parsed when using async highlighting. If the options argument is omitted, this can be used as the second argument.

Options

highlight

Type: function

A function to highlight code blocks. The first example below uses async highlighting with node-pygmentize-bundled, and the second is a synchronous example using highlight.js:

var marked = require('cgmd-parser');

var markdownString = '```js\n console.log("hello"); \n```';

// Async highlighting with pygmentize-bundled
marked.setOptions({
  highlight: function (code, lang, callback) {
    require('pygmentize-bundled')({ lang: lang, format: 'html' }, code, function (err, result) {
      callback(err, result.toString());
    });
  }
});

// Using async version of marked
marked(markdownString, function (err, content) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(content);
});

// Synchronous highlighting with highlight.js
marked.setOptions({
  highlight: function (code) {
    return require('highlight.js').highlightAuto(code).value;
  }
});

console.log(marked(markdownString));

highlight arguments

code

Type: string

The section of code to pass to the highlighter.

lang

Type: string

The programming language specified in the code block.

callback

Type: function

The callback function to call when using an async highlighter.

renderer

Type: object Default: new Renderer()

An object containing functions to render tokens to HTML.

Overriding renderer methods

The renderer option allows you to render tokens in a custom manner. Here is an example of overriding the default heading token rendering by adding an embedded anchor tag like on GitHub:

var marked = require('cgmd-parser');
var renderer = new marked.Renderer();

renderer.heading = function (text, level) {
  var escapedText = text.toLowerCase().replace(/[^\w]+/g, '-');

  return '<h' + level + '><a name="' +
                escapedText +
                 '" class="anchor" href="#' +
                 escapedText +
                 '"><span class="header-link"></span></a>' +
                  text + '</h' + level + '>';
},

console.log(marked('# heading+', { renderer: renderer }));

This code will output the following HTML:

<h1>
  <a name="heading-" class="anchor" href="#heading-">
    <span class="header-link"></span>
  </a>
  heading+
</h1>

Block level renderer methods

code(string code, string language)
blockquote(string quote)
html(string html)
heading(string text, number level)
hr()
list(string body, boolean ordered)
listitem(string text)
paragraph(string text)
table(string header, string body)
tablerow(string content)
tablecell(string content, object flags)

flags has the following properties:

{
    header: true || false,
    align: 'center' || 'left' || 'right'
}

Inline level renderer methods

strong(string text)
em(string text)
codespan(string code)
br()
del(string text)
link(string href, string title, string text)
image(string href, string title, string text)

gfm

Type: boolean Default: true

Enable GitHub flavored markdown.

tables

Type: boolean Default: true

Enable GFM tables. This option requires the gfm option to be true.

breaks

Type: boolean Default: false

Enable GFM line breaks. This option requires the gfm option to be true.

pedantic

Type: boolean Default: false

Conform to obscure parts of markdown.pl as much as possible. Don't fix any of the original markdown bugs or poor behavior.

sanitize

Type: boolean Default: false

Sanitize the output. Ignore any HTML that has been input.

smartLists

Type: boolean Default: true

Use smarter list behavior than the original markdown. May eventually be default with the old behavior moved into pedantic.

smartypants

Type: boolean Default: false

Use "smart" typograhic punctuation for things like quotes and dashes.

Access to lexer and parser

You also have direct access to the lexer and parser if you so desire.

var tokens = marked.lexer(text, options);
console.log(marked.parser(tokens));

var lexer = new marked.Lexer(options);
var tokens = lexer.lex(text);
console.log(tokens);
console.log(lexer.rules);

Benchmarks

node v0.8.x

$ node test --bench
marked completed in 3411ms.
marked (gfm) completed in 3727ms.
marked (pedantic) completed in 3201ms.
robotskirt completed in 808ms.
showdown (reuse converter) completed in 11954ms.
showdown (new converter) completed in 17774ms.
markdown-js completed in 17191ms.

Marked is now faster than Discount, which is written in C.

For those feeling skeptical: These benchmarks run the entire markdown test suite 1000 times. The test suite tests every feature. It doesn't cater to specific aspects.

Pro level

You also have direct access to the lexer and parser if you so desire.

var tokens = marked.lexer(text, options);
console.log(marked.parser(tokens));

var lexer = new marked.Lexer(options);
var tokens = lexer.lex(text);
console.log(tokens);
console.log(lexer.rules);

$ node
> require('marked').lexer('> i am using marked.')
[ { type: 'blockquote_start' },
  { type: 'paragraph',
    text: 'i am using marked.' },
  { type: 'blockquote_end' },
  links: {} ]
