markdown-meta

read metadata from markdown files

Installation

Just the markdown-meta library:

Optionally, install markdown-meta into your path

Usage

Use <!--* and *--> tags in the markdown files to include the metadata.

Inside the backend code: var markdown_meta = require('markdown-meta'); var content = ""; var metadata = markdown_meta.parse(content);

Inside the client code:

<script type='type/javascript' src='markdown-meta.js'></script>
<script type='type/javascript'>
    var content = "<!--* author: chun *-->";
    var metadata = markdown_meta.parse(content);
</script>

the metadata will be a Javascript Object.

Metadata Format

key: value;

Please use the : to separate the key and value, use ; to separate different key-value pairs.

Example

<!--*
    author: chun;
    title : Welcome to use markdown-meta;
    tags  : ["markdown", "metadata"];
*-->
