Text::Markmoremown - Convert MarkMoreDown syntax to HTML
use Text::Markmoredown 'markmod'; my $html = markmod($text); use Text::Markmoredown 'markmod'; my $html = markmod( $text, { empty_element_suffix => '>', tab_width => 2, } ); use Text::Markmoredown; my $m = Text::Markmoredown->new; my $html = $m->markdown($text); use Text::Markmoredown; my $m = Text::Markmoredown->new( empty_element_suffix => '>', tab_width => 2, ); my $html = $m->markdown( $text );
MarkMoreDown is a free MIT-licensed Ruby library for parsing and converting a superset of Markdown. It is supports standard Markdown (with some minor modifications) and various extensions that have inspired by PHP Markdown Extra, MultiMarkdown, kramdown and etc.
Headings from h1 through h6 are constructed with a # for each level:
# h1 Heading ## h2 Heading ### h3 Heading #### h4 Heading ##### h5 Heading ###### h6 Heading <h1>h1 Heading</h1> <h2>h2 Heading</h2> <h3>h3 Heading</h3> <h4>h4 Heading</h4> <h5>h5 Heading</h5> <h6>h6 Heading</h6>
Alternatively, for H1 and H2, an underline-ish style:
Alt-H1 ====== Alt-H2 ------ <h1>Alt-H1</h1> <h2>Alt-H2</h2>
difference to standard markdown
optional labels
## h2 #:head-label #### h4 ########::my-label <h2 id="head-label">h2</h2> <h4 id="my-label">h4</h4> Alt-h1 ====== :my-label <h1 id="my-label">Alt-H1</h1>
A horizontal rule for visually separating content is created by using three or more asterisks, dashes or underscores (these may not be mixed on a line), optionally separated by spaces, on an otherwise blank line. The first asterisk, dash or underscore may optionally be indented up to three spaces.
*** --- ___ * * * * * * * * * -------- ______________ <hr>
paragraph is simply one or more consecutive lines of text, separated by one or more blank lines. (A blank line is any line that looks like a blank line — a line containing nothing but spaces or tabs is considered blank.) Normal paragraphs should not be indented with spaces or tabs.
The implication of the “one or more consecutive lines of text” rule is that Markdown supports “hard-wrapped” text paragraphs. This differs significantly from most other text-to-HTML formatters (including Movable Type’s “Convert Line Breaks” option) which translate every line break character in a paragraph into a <br> tag.
When you do want to insert a <br> break tag using Markdown, you end a line with two or more spaces, then type return.

Markdown supports ordered (numbered) and unordered (bulleted) lists.
Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens — interchangably — as list markers.
+ Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet + Consectetur adipiscing elit + Integer molestie lorem at massa + Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet + Nulla volutpat aliquam velit - Phasellus iaculis neque * Purus sodales ultricies * Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem - Ac tristique libero volutpat at + Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel + Aenean sit amet erat nunc + Eget porttitor lorem
<ul> <li>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet</li> <li>Consectetur adipiscing elit</li> <li>Integer molestie lorem at massa</li> <li>Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet</li> <li>Nulla volutpat aliquam velit <ul> <li>Phasellus iaculis neque</li> <ul> <li>Purus sodales ultricies</li> <li>Vestibulum laoreet porttitor sem</li> </ul> <li>Ac tristique libero volutpat at</li> </ul> </li> <li>Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel</li> <li>Aenean sit amet erat nunc</li> <li>Eget porttitor lorem</li> </ul>
+ item - item * item
A list of items in which the order of items does explicitly matter.
1. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet 2. Consectetur adipiscing elit 1. item - unordered item - unordered item 2. item 3. item 3. Integer molestie lorem at massa 4. Facilisis in pretium nisl aliquet 5. Nulla volutpat aliquam velit 6. Faucibus porta lacus fringilla vel 7. Aenean sit amet erat nunc 8. Eget porttitor lorem
MarkMoreDown has support for definition lists using the same syntax used in PHP Markdown Extra. Specifically:
Apple : Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in the family Rosaceae. : An american computer company. Orange : The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.
becomes:
<dl> <dt>Apple</dt> <dd>Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in the family Rosaceae.</dd> <dt>Orange</dt> <dd>The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.</dd> </dl>
If you want to have one list directly after another one (both with the same list type, i.e. ordered or unordered), you need to use an EOB marker to separate the two:
* List one ^ * List two
Markdown uses email-style > characters for blockquoting. If you’re familiar with quoting passages of text in an email message, then you know how to create a blockquote in Markdown. It looks best if you hard wrap the text and put a > before every line, Blockquotes can contain other Markdown elements, including headers, lists, and code blocks
> This is a blockquote . Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, > consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. > Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus. > > This is a blockquote with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus. > > This is nested blockquote. > ## This is a header. > 1. This is the first list item. > 2. This is the second list item. > > Here's some example code: >
separator
Markdown supports two style of links: inline and reference.
In both styles, the link text is delimited by [square brackets].
To create an inline link, use a set of regular parentheses immediately after the link text’s closing square bracket. Inside the parentheses, put the URL where you want the link to point, along with an optional title for the link, surrounded in quotes. For example:
This is [an example](http://kiavash.one/ "Title") inline link. [This link](http://kiavash.one/) has no title attribute.
If you’re referring to a local resource on the same server, you can use relative paths:
See my [About](/about/) page for details.
Reference-style links use a second set of square brackets, inside which you place a label of your choosing to identify the link:
This is [an example][id] reference-style link.
You can optionally use a space to separate the sets of brackets:
This is [an example] [id] reference-style link.
Then, anywhere in the document, you define your link label like this, on a line by itself:
[id]: http://kiavash.one/ "Optional Title Here"
The implicit link name shortcut allows you to omit the name of the link, in which case the link text itself is used as the name. Just use an empty set of square brackets
this is a link [kiavash][] [kiavash]: http://kiavash.one
you can set the attributes on certain elements using an attribute block. put the special attribute block {} immediately after the parenthesis or brackets containing the address.
This is [an example][id]{.class1 .class2 #id1 style="..." #id3 other-attributes} [This link](http://kiavash.one/){.class1 .class2 #id1 style="..." #id3 other-attributes}
dont use spaces in attributes.
wrong
style="border: 1px; width: 150px"
correct
style="border:1px;width:150px"
Admittedly, it’s fairly difficult to devise a “natural” syntax for placing images into a plain text document format.
Markdown uses an image syntax that is intended to resemble the syntax for links, allowing for two styles: inline and reference.
Inline image syntax looks like this:
 
Reference-style image syntax looks like this:
![Alt text][id]
Where “id” is the name of a defined image reference. Image references are defined using syntax identical to link references:
[id]: url/to/image "Optional title attribute"
{.class1 .class2 #id1 style="..." #id3 width="100px" height="100px"} ![Alt text][id]{.class1 .class2 #id1 style="border:2px;max-width:100%" #id3 other-attributes}
To indicate a span of code, wrap it with backtick quotes (`). Unlike a pre-formatted code block, a code span indicates code within a normal paragraph. For example:
Use the `printf()` function.
will produce:
Use the <code>printf()</code> function.
Pre-formatted code blocks are used for writing about programming or markup source code. Rather than forming normal paragraphs, the lines of a code block are interpreted literally. Markdown wraps a code block in both <pre> and <code> tags.
To produce a code block in Markdown, simply indent every line of the block by at least 4 spaces or 1 tab. For example, given this input:
This is a normal paragraph: This is a code block.
Markdown will generate:
<p>This is a normal paragraph:</p> <pre><code>This is a code block. </code></pre>
One level of indentation — 4 spaces or 1 tab — is removed from each line of the code block. For example, this:
Here is an example of AppleScript: tell application "Foo" beep end tell
will turn into:
<p>Here is an example of AppleScript:</p> <pre><code>tell application "Foo" beep end tell </code></pre>
you can separate code blocks with ^
code block1 code block1 ^ code block2 code block2
Use "fences" ``` to block in multiple lines of code.
``` codes... ```
or
``` perl code... code... code... ``` <pre><code class="language-perl"> code... code... code... </code></pre>
and
``` :class-name some codes... ``` <pre><code class="class-name"> some codes... </code></pre>
| | Grouping || | First Header | Second Header | Third Header | | ------------ | :-----------: | -----------: | | Content | *Long Cell* || | Content | **Cell** | Cell | | New section | More | Data |
MarkMoreDown supports a number of options to it's processor which control the behaviour of the output document.
These options can be supplied to the constructor, on in a hash with the individual calls to the markdown method. See the synopsis for examples of both of the above styles.
The options for the processor are:
This option can be used to generate normal HTML output. By default, it is '>', which is HTML, change to ' />' for xHTML.
Controls if <img> tags generated have an id attribute. Defaults to true. Turn off for compatibility with the original markdown.
Controls if <hX> tags generated have an id attribute. Defaults to true. Turn off for compatibility with the original markdown.
Controls indent width in the generated markup, defaults to 4
If true, this disables the MarkMoreDown table handling.
If true, this disables the MarkMoreDown footnotes handling.
If true, this disables the MarkMoreDown bibliography/citation handling.
If true, this disables the MarkMoreDown definition list handling.
A simple constructor, see the SYNTAX and OPTIONS sections for more information.
The main function as far as the outside world is concerned. See the SYNOPSIS for details on use.
