Markdown-it-myst NPM

markdown-it-myst

:warning: Note: markdown-it-myst is alpha, expect changes! (January, 2021)

A javascript parser for MyST based on markdown-it

Goals

Provide a Javascript implementation of MyST markdown extensions
- Uses standard html for all known roles and directives, with no styling enforced or provided
Provide functionality for cross-referencing that is usually completed by Sphinx (e.g. in the Python implementation)

Usage

npm install markdown-it-myst

In a node environment:

import { MyST } from 'markdown-it-myst';

const myst = MyST();
const html = myst.render('# Hello to the world!');

console.log(html);
>> "<h1>Hello to the world!</h1>"

In a browser:

<html>
<head>
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/markdown-it-myst"></script>
</head>
<body onload="init();">
  <div id="output"></div>
  <script>
    function init() {
      const myst = MyST();
      const html = myst.render('# Hello to the world!');
      document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = html;
    }
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Developer Install

For installing the package locally, we suggest Yarn, which can be installed using these instructions, you will need node, both can use a global install on your system.

Once you have yarn installed globally, navigate into this project folder and install the dependencies:

cd markdown-it-myst
yarn install
yarn start  # Start a development server to play with the library! 🚀

The scripts for building, testing, and serving the project are in the package.json, the main ones to use are yarn test, yarn build, and yarn start.

`yarn build`

Builds the library, including compiling the typescript and bundling/minification to create myst.min.js. This outputs to the dist folder, and also includes all type definitions (*.d.ts).

`yarn test`

Run the tests, these are mostly based on the fixtures folder. You can also use yarn test:watch to run on any file changes.

`yarn start`

Starts a server for manually testing and playing with markdown-it-myst, this uses a in-memory bundle of what would go in the dist folder. Note that this does not actually build the library!
