> Markdown parser done right.
- Configurable syntax: you can add new rules and even replace existing ones.
- Pluggable: Adds syntax extensions to extend the parser (see the [plugin list][md-plugins]).
- High speed (see our [benchmarking tests][md-performance])
- [Safe by default][md-security]

This is a Python port of [markdown-it], and some of its associated plugins.
For details on [markdown-it] itself, see:
- [The markdown-it README][markdown-it-readme]
## Installation
```bash
conda install -c conda-forge markdown-it-py
```
or
```bash
pip install markdown-it-py[plugins]
```
or with extras
```bash
conda install -c conda-forge markdown-it-py linkify-it-py mdit-py-plugins
pip install markdown-it-py[linkify,plugins]
```
## Usage
### Python API Usage
Render markdown to HTML with markdown-it-py and a custom configuration
with and without plugins and features:
```python
from markdown_it import MarkdownIt
from mdit_py_plugins.front_matter import front_matter_plugin
from mdit_py_plugins.footnote import footnote_plugin
md = (
MarkdownIt('commonmark' ,{'breaks':True,'html':True})
.use(front_matter_plugin)
.use(footnote_plugin)
.enable('table')
)
text = ("""
---
a: 1
---
a | b
- | -
1 | 2
A footnote [^1]
[^1]: some details
""")
tokens = md.parse(text)
html_text = md.render(text)
## To export the html to a file, uncomment the lines below:
# from pathlib import Path
# Path("output.html").write_text(html_text)
```
### Command-line Usage
Render markdown to HTML with markdown-it-py from the
command-line:
```console
usage: markdown-it [-h] [-v] [filenames [filenames ...]]
Parse one or more markdown files, convert each to HTML, and print to stdout
positional arguments:
filenames specify an optional list of files to convert
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
Interactive:
$ markdown-it
markdown-it-py [version 0.0.0] (interactive)
Type Ctrl-D to complete input, or Ctrl-C to exit.
>>> # Example
... > markdown *input*

<h1>Example</h1>
<blockquote>
<p>markdown <em>input</em></p>
</blockquote>
Batch:
$ markdown-it README.md README.footer.md > index.html
```
