MarkdownItPlugins

(This package might best be regarded as deprecated given the changes in Meteor 1.3.)

A bunch of plugins for markdown-it wrapped for Meteor.

Install
Usage
The Plugins
My Big Usage Example

Install

This is available as convexset:markdown-it-plugins on Atmosphere. (Install with meteor add convexset:markdown-it-plugins.)

If you get an error message like:

WARNING: npm peer requirements not installed:
 - package-utils@^0.2.1 not installed.
          
Read more about installing npm peer dependencies:
  http://guide.meteor.com/using-packages.html#peer-npm-dependencies

It is because, by design, the package does not include instances of these from npm to avoid repetition. (In this case, meteor npm install --save package-utils will deal with the problem.)

See this or this for more information.

Now, if you see a message like

WARNING: npm peer requirements not installed:
underscore@1.5.2 installed, underscore@^1.8.3 needed

it is because you or something you are using is using Meteor's cruddy old underscore package. Install a new version from npm. (And, of course, you may use the npm version in a given scope via require("underscore").)

Usage

Suppose one already has markdown-it installed, e.g. via smoiz:markdown-it. First, instantiate a renderer...

1var markdownRenderer = markdownit({
2    // Enable HTML tags in source
3    html: true,
4    // Use '/' to close single tags (<br />).
5    xhtmlOut: true,
6
7    // This is only for full CommonMark compatibility.
8    // Convert '\n' in paragraphs into <br>
9    breaks: true,
10    // CSS language prefix for fenced blocks. Can be useful for external highlighters.
11    langPrefix: '',
12    // Autoconvert URL-like text to links
13    linkify: true,
14
15    // Enable some language-neutral replacement + quotes beautification
16    typographer: true,
17
18    // Double + single quotes replacement pairs, when typographer enabled,
19    // and smartquotes on. Could be either a String or an Array.
20    //
21    // For example, you can use '«»„“' for Russian, '„“‚‘' for German,
22    // and ['«\xA0', '\xA0»', '‹\xA0', '\xA0›'] for French (including nbsp).
23    quotes: '“”‘’',
24});

Then to load plugins, do the following:

1var markdownItSubPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-sub');
2var markdownItSupPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-sup');
3
4markdownRenderer
5    .use(markdownItSubPlugin)
6    .use(markdownItSupPlugin);
7
8// or add them one by one

Some plugins admit options and may be loaded as outlined in the documentation of markdown-it:

1markdownRenderer
2    .use(somePlugin1)
3    .use(somePlugin2, opts);

Default options can be loaded as follows:

1var opts = MarkdownItPlugins.getDefaultOptions('pluginName');
2var plugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('pluginName');
3
4markdownRenderer
5    .use(plugin, opts)

Here's an alternative way to load both:

1var thing = MarkdownItPlugins.get('pluginName');
2var opts = thing.defaultOptions;
3var plugin = thing.plugin;
4
5markdownRenderer
6    .use(plugin, opts)

The Plugins

markdown-it-abbr

Original Source: npm
Defaults: None
Is Modified Package: No

1var markdownItAbbrPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-abbr');
2markdownRenderer.use(markdownItAbbrPlugin);

The following

*[HTML]: Hyper Text Markup Language
*[W3C]:  World Wide Web Consortium
The HTML specification
is maintained by the W3C.

generates

1<p>The <abbr title="Hyper Text Markup Language">HTML</abbr> specification
2is maintained by the <abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr>.</p>

markdown-it-anchor

Header anchors for [markdown-it].

Original Source: npm
Defaults: Yes
Is Modified Package: No

1var markdownItAnchorPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-abbr');
2var markdownItAnchorOptions = MarkdownItPlugins.getDefaultOptions('markdown-it-abbr');
3markdownRenderer.use(markdownItAnchorPlugin, markdownItAnchorOptions);
4
5// or...
6// markdownRenderer.use(markdownItAnchorPlugin, opts);

The opts object can contain:

Name	Description	Default
`level`	Minimum level to apply anchors on.	1
`slugify`	A custom slugification function.	string.js' `slugify`
`permalink`	Whether to add permalinks next to titles.	`false`
`renderPermalink`	A custom permalink rendering function.	See `index.es6.js`
`permalinkClass`	The class of the permalink anchor.	`header-anchor`
`permalinkSymbol`	The symbol in the permalink anchor.	`¶`
`permalinkBefore`	Place the permalink before the title.	`false`
`callback`	Called with token and info after rendering.	`undefined`

The renderPermalink function takes the slug, an options object with the above options, and then all the usual markdown-it rendering arguments.

All headers above level will then have an id attribute with a slug of their content, and if permalink is true, a ¶ symbol linking to the header itself.

You may want to use the link symbol as permalinkSymbol, or a symbol from your favorite web font.

The callback option is a function that will be called at the end of rendering with the token and an info object. The info object has title and slug properties with the token content and the slug used for the identifier.

markdown-it-attrs

Add classes, identifiers and attributes to your markdown with {.class #identifier attr=value attr2="spaced value"} curly brackets, similar to pandoc's header attributes.

Original Source: npm
Defaults: None
Is Modified Package: No

1var markdownItAttrsPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-attrs');
2markdownRenderer.use(markdownItAbbrPlugin);

Example input:

paragraph {data-toggle=modal}

Output:

1<p data-toggle="modal">paragraph</p>

Works with inline elements too:

paragraph *style me*{.red} more text

Output:

1<p>paragraph <em class="red">style me</em> more text</p>

Note: Plugin does not validate any input, so you should validate the attributes in your html output if security is a concern.

** Ambiguity**

When class can be applied to both inline or block element, inline element will take precedence:

- list item **bold**{.red}

Output:

1<ul>
2<li>list item <strong class="red">bold</strong></li>
3<ul>

If you need the class to apply to the list item instead:

- list item **bold**
{.red}

Output:

1<ul>
2<li class="red">list item <strong>bold</strong>
3</li>
4</ul>

If you need finer control, look into decorate.

markdown-it-center-text

Original Source: npm
Defaults: None
Is Modified Package: No

1var markdownItCenterTextPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-center-text');
2markdownRenderer
3    .use(markdownItCenterTextPlugin);
4
5markdownRenderer.render('->Centered Text<-') // =>
6// <div style="text-align: center;">Centered Text</div>

markdown-it-checkbox

This plugin allows to create checkboxes for tasklists as discussed here.

Original Source: npm
Defaults: Yes
Is Modified Package: No

1var markdownItCheckboxPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-checkbox');
2markdownRenderer
3    .use(markdownItCheckboxPlugin);
4
5markdownRenderer.render('[ ] unchecked') // =>
6// <p>
7//  <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox0">
8//  <label for="checkbox0">unchecked</label>
9// </p>
10
11markdownRenderer.render('[x] checked') // =>
12// <p>
13//  <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox0" checked="true">
14//  <label for="checkbox0">checked</label>
15// </p>

A number of options may be passed in:

divWrap: wrap div arround checkbox. this makes it possible to use it for example with Awesome Bootstrap Checkbox

- Default: false
divClass: classname of div wrapper. will only be used if divWrap is enanbled.
- Type: String
- Default: "checkbox"
idPrefix: the id of the checkboxs input contains the prefix and an incremental number starting with 0. i.e. checkbox1 for the 2nd checkbox.
- Type: String

4        divWrap: true,
5        divClass: 'cb',
6        idPrefix: 'cbx_'
7    });

11//  <div classname="cb">
12//    <input type="checkbox" id="cbx_0">
13//    <label for="cbx_0">unchecked</label>
14//  </div>
15// </p>

markdown-it-container

With this plugin you can create block containers like:

::: warning
*here be dragons*
:::

.... and specify how they should be rendered. If no renderer defined, <div> with container name class will be created:

1<div class="warning">
2<em>here be dragons</em>
3</div>

Markup is the same as for fenced code blocks. Difference is, that marker use another character and content is rendered as markdown markup.

Original Source: npm
Defaults: No
Is Modified Package: No

1var markdownItContainerPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-container');
2markdownRenderer
3    .use(markdownItContainerPlugin, name, [, options]);

Params:

name - container name (mandatory)
options:
- validate - optional, function to validate tail after opening marker, should return true on success.
- render - optional, renderer function for opening/closing tokens.
- marker - optional (:), character to use in delimiter.

Example:

1var markdownItContainerPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-container');
2
3markdownRenderer.use(markdownItContainerPlugin, 'spoiler', {
4
5  validate: function(params) {
6    return params.trim().match(/^spoiler\s+(.*)$/);
7  },
8
9  render: function (tokens, idx) {
10    var m = tokens[idx].info.trim().match(/^spoiler\s+(.*)$/);
11
12    if (tokens[idx].nesting === 1) {
13      // opening tag
14      return '<details><summary>' + m[1] + '</summary>\n';
15
16    } else {
17      // closing tag
18      return '</details>\n';
19    }
20  }
21});
22
23console.log(md.render('::: spoiler click me\n*content*\n:::\n'));
24
25// Output:
26//
27// <details><summary>click me</summary>
28// <p><em>content</em></p>
29// </details>

markdown-it-emoji

Two versions:

Full (default), with all github supported emojies.
Light, with only well supported unicode emojies and reduced size.

Also supports emoticons shortcuts like :), :-(, and other. See full list in link above.

Original Source: npm
Defaults: Yes
Is Modified Package: No

1var markdownItEmojiPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-emoji');
2markdownRenderer
3    .use(markdownItEmojiPlugin);
4
5// or...
6// markdownRenderer
7//    .use(markdownItEmojiPlugin, options);
8
9markdownRenderer.render('H~2~0') // => '<p>H<sub>2</sub>O</p>'

Options:

defs (Object) - rewrite available emojies definitions
- example: { name1: char1, name2: char2, ... }
enabled (Array) - disable all emojies except whitelisted
shortcuts (Object) - rewrite default shortcuts
- example: { "smile": [ ":)", ":-)" ], "laughing": ":D" }

By default, emojies are rendered as appropriate unicode chars. But you can change renderer function as you wish.

Render as span blocks (for example, to use custom iconic font):

1// ...
2// initialize
3
4markdownRenderer.renderer.rules.emoji = function(token, idx) {
5  return '<span class="emoji emoji_' + token[idx].markup + '"></span>';
6};

Or use twemoji:

1// ...
2// initialize
3
4var twemoji = require('twemoji')
5
6markdownRenderer.renderer.rules.emoji = function(token, idx) {
7  return twemoji.parse(token[idx].content);
8};

NB 1. Read twemoji docs! May be you need more options to change image size & type.

NB 2. For twemoji you can like to fit image height to line height with this style:

1.emoji {
2  height: 1.2em;
3}

markdown-it-expand-tabs

What it does

Replaces leading tabs with spaces in fenced code blocks
Nothing else

Why is this useful?

Say you have tab-indented code in a markdown file and you want the rendered code to take up less visual space horizontally. This plugin will help. If you're not in that situation, then this plugin probably isn't for you.

Original Source: npm
Defaults: Yes
Is Modified Package: No

1var markdownItExpandTabsPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-expand-tabs');
2markdownRenderer
3    .use(markdownItExpandTabsPlugin);
4
5markdownRenderer.render('\tsomething\n\t\tsmtg') // => '    something\n        smtg'

The default behavior is to convert leading tabs into two spaces each. You can choose an alternate tab width thusly:

1markdownRenderer
2    .use(markdownItExpandTabsPlugin, {tabWidth: 4});

markdown-it-footnote

Footnotes plugin for markdown-it markdown parser.

Original Source: npm
Defaults: No
Is Modified Package: No

1var markdownItFootnotePlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-footnote');
2markdownRenderer
3    .use(markdownItFootnotePlugin);

Normal footnote:

Here is a footnote reference,[^1] and another.[^longnote]

[^1]: Here is the footnote.

[^longnote]: Here's one with multiple blocks.

    Subsequent paragraphs are indented to show that they
belong to the previous footnote.

html:

1<p>Here is a footnote reference,<sup class="footnote-ref"><a href="#fn1" id="fnref1">[1]</a></sup> and another.<sup class="footnote-ref"><a href="#fn2" id="fnref2">[2]</a></sup></p>
2<p>This paragraph won’t be part of the note, because it
3isn’t indented.</p>
4<hr class="footnotes-sep">
5<section class="footnotes">
6<ol class="footnotes-list">
7<li id="fn1"  class="footnote-item"><p>Here is the footnote. <a href="#fnref1" class="footnote-backref">↩</a></p>
8</li>
9<li id="fn2"  class="footnote-item"><p>Here’s one with multiple blocks.</p>
10<p>Subsequent paragraphs are indented to show that they
11belong to the previous footnote. <a href="#fnref2" class="footnote-backref">↩</a></p>
12</li>
13</ol>
14</section>

Inline footnote:

Here is an inline note.^[Inlines notes are easier to write, since
you don't have to pick an identifier and move down to type the
note.]

html:

1<p>Here is an inline note.<sup class="footnote-ref"><a href="#fn1" id="fnref1">[1]</a></sup></p>
2<hr class="footnotes-sep">
3<section class="footnotes">
4<ol class="footnotes-list">
5<li id="fn1"  class="footnote-item"><p>Inlines notes are easier to write, since
6you don’t have to pick an identifier and move down to type the
7note. <a href="#fnref1" class="footnote-backref">↩</a></p>
8</li>
9</ol>
10</section>

markdown-it-implicit-figures

Render images occurring by itself in a paragraph as <figure><img ...></figure>, similar to pandoc's implicit figures.

Original Source: npm
Defaults: Yes
Is Modified Package: No

1var markdownItImplicitFiguresPlugin = MarkdownItPlugins.getPlugin('markdown-it-implicit-figures');
2markdownRenderer
3    .use(markdownItImplicitFiguresPlugin, {
4        dataType: false,  // declares data-type like <figure data-type="image">, default: false
5        figcaption: false  // adds <figcaption>alternative text</figcaption>, default: false
6    });

Example input:

text with ![](img.png)

![](fig.png)

another paragraph

Output:

1<p>text with <img src="img.png" alt=""></p>
2<figure><img src="fig.png" alt=""></figure>
3<p>another paragraph</p>

Options:

dataType: Set dataType to true to declare the data-type being wrapped, e.g.: <figure data-type="image">. This can be useful for applying special styling for different kind of figures.

figcaption: Set figcaption to true to put the alternative text in a <figcaption>-block after the image. E.g.: ![text](img.png) renders to

1<figure>
2  <img src="img.png" alt="text">
3  <figcaption>text</figcaption>
4</figure>
