Let’s take a look at what those mean.įootnotes allow you to create links within your document to references that are placed at the bottom of the markdown page. For example, libraries will mention support of CommonMark, GFM or Multi-Markdown. So much so that you’ll often see them quoted as part of other versions. With the many versions of markdown available, a few have had a substantial impact on other versions.
#Markdown it code
Although different implementations support a range of extended features, they should all support at least the following core syntax: Inline HTML, Automatic paragraphs, headers, blockquotes, lists, code blocks, horizontal rules, links, emphasis, inline code and images. The core markdown language supports a number of default features that are quite useful. There are additional implementations in many other languages, just in case you’re looking to implement Markdown in other languages. Github Flavored Markup, Kramdown, Maruku, RedcarpetĬebe Markdown, Ciconia, Parsedown, PHP Markdown Extended Let’s take a look at some of the options: LanguageĬommonMark, Marked, Markdown-it, Remarkable, Showdown Which language you choose will have repercussions as to which features you’ll be able to support and what libraries will be available. There are implementations in most popular languages including: PHP, Ruby and JavaScript. The original implementation was written in Perl, but that’s not a practical option for every project.
There’s a lot to consider when thinking about implementing Markdown into a project, including the language you’ll be developing with as well as the features you want to support. Since then, the language hasn’t been expanded by its creator John Gruber, so a number of additions and implementations have surfaced with different parsers adding support for different implementations as they see fit, or interpreting how certain elements are parsed. The core features include parsing block elements (such as paragraphs, line breaks, headers, blockquotes, lists, code blocks and horizontal rules) and span elements (links, emphasis, code snippets and images). Because the original spec hasn’t evolved with the times, alternate versions like Multi-Markdown, GFM (Github Flavored Markdown), Markdown Extra and others have expanded the language.
However, not all markdown parsers are created equally. The language uses simple text with minimal markup and can convert it to a growing number of formats.
Markdown has changed the way professionals in many fields write. Ray, who has a course on Markdown, is going to share which versions have which features to help you make an informed choice. If you’re choosing a version to use (or a version you’re offering to users on your web product), it pays to know what you are getting into, as it’s difficult to switch once you’ve chosen and there is content out there that depends on those features. All of them offer features beyond what the original Markdown can do, but they offer different features amongst themselves. Ray is going to explore many of the different varietals of Markdown. I chosed and markdown-it to do that, so this is my whole dependencies: package.The following is a guest post by Ray Villalobos. I'm attempted to develop a new feature for my blog, that is a Markdown editor for writing articles.
