Markdown

A parser for Markdown text. Instances of this class may be passed directly to the Parser or Transformer APIs:

val document = MarkupParser.of(Markdown).build.parse(inputString)

Transformer.from(Markdown).to(HTML).build.transform(inputString)

Since this library is not solely focused on producing HTML output, parsing verbatim HTML elements like defined by the official Markdown syntax description is an optional feature, as some types of renderers would not know what to do with HTML nodes in the document tree. It must be enabled explicitly:

val parser = MarkupParser.of(Markdown).withRawContent.build

To switch off all custom extensions like directives, configuration sections at the start of the document or automatic id generation for headers, you can run the parser in strict mode:

val transformer = Transformer.from(Markdown).to(HTML).strict
