kirala_markdown

markdown parser and html renderer written in Gleam language ver 1.0.0. This is a simple port from kirala_bbmarkdown, which does pattern matching by string whereas bbmarkdown does binary pattern matching.

bbmarkdown is about 25% faster than this, but this one also works with javascript target.

parse markdown

import kirala/markdown/parser

fn parse_markdown(markdown: String) {
 let ast = parser.parse(1, bit_array.from_string(markdown))
}

markdown to html

import kirala/markdown/html_renderer

fn markdown_to_html(markdown: String) -> String {
 let html = html_renderer.convert(markdown)
}
