flavormark v1.1.3

flavormark

Based on commonmark.js

FlavorMark is a Markdown parser, made in TypeScript, with emphasis placed on modularizing element parsing logic, making it easy(-ish) to add/remove syntax for your favorite Markdown flavors.

Parsers

There are a lot of classes with the word Parser in them.

• Parser

  The main parser, parses block elements. Then, parses inline content.

• BlockParser

  Each block element will generally be parsed by one BlockParser.

• InlineContentParser

  Parses inline content, using InlineParser.

• InlineParser

  Each inline element will generally be parsed by one InlineParser.

• DelimitedInlineParser

  This parser makes it easier to parse inline elements that behave like emphasis elements.

• DelimitedInlineSubParser

  If using DelimitedInlineParser, each sub-parser will parse one emphasis-like element. (Emphasis, smart quotes, superscript, strikethrough, etc.)

Usage

1. Instantiate all BlockParser classes and add them to a BlockParserCollection.
2. Instantiate all InlineParser classes and add them to an array.
3. Instantiate an InlineContentParser and pass it the array of InlineParser.
4. Instantiate a Parser and pass it the BlockParserCollection, and InlineContentParser.
5. Call Parser.parse(str).

See the tests in src/test for more examples.

Notes

Each Node constructor is used to uniquely identify BlockParser, and HtmlSubRenderer instances.

When trying to parse a block, instanceof checks are used to find the BlockParser associated with a Node. The first matching BlockParser in the array is used.

For this reason, each unique block type should have its own Node sub-class.

License

See LICENSE file (copy-pasted from commonmark.js). Also, since this is just a glorified port of commonmark.js, I guess the BSD-license carries over. I have no idea how this works. I don't really care, personally. I just don't want to step on anyone's toes.
