@spec default_extension_options() :: extension_options()

Returns the default options for the :extension group.

@spec default_features_options() :: features_options()

Returns the default options for the :features group.

@spec default_parse_options() :: parse_options()

Returns the default options for the :parse group.

@spec default_render_options() :: render_options()

Returns the default options for the :render group.

@spec default_sanitize_options() :: sanitize_options()

Returns the default options for the :sanitize group.

@spec new(options()) :: MDEx.Pipe.t()

Builds a new MDEx.Pipe instance.

Once the pipe is complete, call either one of the following functions to format the document:

• MDEx.to_html/1
• MDEx.to_json/1
• MDEx.to_xml/1
• MDEx.to_markdown/1

Examples

• Build a pipe with :document:

  iex> mdex = MDEx.new(document: "# Hello")
  iex> MDEx.to_html(mdex)
  {:ok, "<h1>Hello</h1>"}
  
  iex> mdex = MDEx.new(document: "Hello ~world~", extension: [strikethrough: true])
  iex> MDEx.to_json(mdex)
  {:ok, ~s|{"nodes":[{"nodes":[{"literal":"Hello ","node_type":"MDEx.Text"},{"nodes":[{"literal":"world","node_type":"MDEx.Text"}],"node_type":"MDEx.Strikethrough"}],"node_type":"MDEx.Paragraph"}],"node_type":"MDEx.Document"}|}

• Pass a :document when formatting:

  iex> mdex = MDEx.new(extension: [strikethrough: true])
  iex> MDEx.to_xml(mdex, document: "Hello ~world~")
  {:ok, ~s|<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "CommonMark.dtd">
  <document xmlns="http://commonmark.org/xml/1.0">
    <paragraph>
      <text xml:space="preserve">Hello </text>
      <strikethrough>
        <text xml:space="preserve">world</text>
      </strikethrough>
    </paragraph>
  </document>|}

Notes

1. Source :document is automatically parsed into MDEx.Document before the pipeline runs so every step receives the same data type.

2. You can pass the document when creating the pipe:

MDEx.new(document: "# Hello") |> MDEx.to_html()

Or pass it only when formatting the document, useful to reuse the same pipe with different documents and formats.

mdex = MDEx.new()
# ... attach plugins and steps

MDEx.to_html(mdex, document: "# Hello HTML")
MDEx.to_json(mdex, document: "# Hello JSON")

@spec parse_document(parse_source(), options()) ::
  {:ok, MDEx.Document.t()} | {:error, any()}

Parse source and returns MDEx.Document.

Source can be either a Markdown string or a tagged JSON string.

Examples

• Parse Markdown with default options:

  iex> MDEx.parse_document!("""
  ...> # Languages
  ...>
  ...> - Elixir
  ...> - Rust
  ...> """)
  %MDEx.Document{
    nodes: [
      %MDEx.Heading{nodes: [%MDEx.Text{literal: "Languages"}], level: 1, setext: false},
      %MDEx.List{
        nodes: [
          %MDEx.ListItem{
            nodes: [%MDEx.Paragraph{nodes: [%MDEx.Text{literal: "Elixir"}]}],
            list_type: :bullet,
            marker_offset: 0,
            padding: 2,
            start: 1,
            delimiter: :period,
            bullet_char: "-",
            tight: false
          },
          %MDEx.ListItem{
            nodes: [%MDEx.Paragraph{nodes: [%MDEx.Text{literal: "Rust"}]}],
            list_type: :bullet,
            marker_offset: 0,
            padding: 2,
            start: 1,
            delimiter: :period,
            bullet_char: "-",
            tight: false
          }
        ],
        list_type: :bullet,
        marker_offset: 0,
        padding: 2,
        start: 1,
        delimiter: :period,
        bullet_char: "-",
        tight: true
      }
    ]
  }

• Parse Markdown with custom options:

  iex> MDEx.parse_document!("Darth Vader is ||Luke's father||", extension: [spoiler: true])
  %MDEx.Document{
    nodes: [
      %MDEx.Paragraph{
        nodes: [
          %MDEx.Text{literal: "Darth Vader is "},
          %MDEx.SpoileredText{nodes: [%MDEx.Text{literal: "Luke's father"}]}
        ]
      }
    ]
  }

• Parse JSON:

  iex> json = ~s|{"nodes":[{"nodes":[{"literal":"Title","node_type":"MDEx.Text"}],"level":1,"setext":false,"node_type":"MDEx.Heading"}],"node_type":"MDEx.Document"}|
  iex> MDEx.parse_document!({:json, json})
  %MDEx.Document{
    nodes: [
      %MDEx.Heading{
        nodes: [%MDEx.Text{literal: "Title"} ],
        level: 1,
        setext: false
      }
    ]
  }

@spec parse_document!(parse_source(), options()) :: MDEx.Document.t()

Same as parse_document/2 but raises if the parsing fails.

@spec parse_fragment(String.t(), options()) :: {:ok, MDEx.Document.md_node()} | nil

Parse a markdown string and returns only the node that represents the fragment.

Usually that means filtering out the parent document and paragraphs.

That's useful to generate fragment nodes and inject them into the document when you're manipulating it.

Use parse_document/2 to generate a complete document.

Examples

iex> MDEx.parse_fragment("# Elixir")
{:ok, %MDEx.Heading{nodes: [%MDEx.Text{literal: "Elixir"}], level: 1, setext: false}}

iex> MDEx.parse_fragment("<h1>Elixir</h1>")
{:ok, %MDEx.HtmlBlock{nodes: [], block_type: 6, literal: "<h1>Elixir</h1>\n"}}

@spec parse_fragment!(String.t(), options()) :: MDEx.Document.md_node()

Same as parse_fragment/2 but raises if the parsing fails or returns nil.

@spec safe_html(
  String.t(),
  options :: [sanitize: sanitize_options() | nil, escape: [atom()]]
) :: String.t()

Utility function to sanitize and escape HTML.

Examples

iex> MDEx.safe_html("<script>console.log('attack')</script>")
""

iex> MDEx.safe_html("<h1>{'Example:'}</h1><code>{:ok, 'MDEx'}</code>")
"&lt;h1&gt;{&#x27;Example:&#x27;}&lt;&#x2f;h1&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lbrace;:ok, &#x27;MDEx&#x27;&rbrace;&lt;&#x2f;code&gt;"

iex> MDEx.safe_html("<h1>{'Example:'}</h1><code>{:ok, 'MDEx'}</code>", escape: [content: false])
"<h1>{'Example:'}</h1><code>&lbrace;:ok, 'MDEx'&rbrace;</code>"

Options

• :sanitize - cleans HTML after rendering. Defaults to MDEx.default_sanitize_options/0.

  • keyword - sanitize_options/0
  • nil - do not sanitize output.

• :escape - which entities should be escaped. Defaults to [:content, :curly_braces_in_code].

  • :content - escape common chars like <, >, &, and others in the HTML content;
  • :curly_braces_in_code - escape { and } only inside <code> tags, particularly useful for compiling HTML in LiveView;

                                          MDEx.Document.md_node())) ::
  MDEx.Document.t()

Low-level function to traverse and update the Markdown document preserving the tree structure format.

See MDEx.Document for more information about the tree structure and for higher-level functions using the Access and Enumerable protocols.

Examples

Traverse an entire Markdown document:

iex> import MDEx.Sigil
iex> doc = ~M"""
...> # Languages
...>
...> `elixir`
...>
...> `rust`
...> """
iex> MDEx.traverse_and_update(doc, fn
...>   %MDEx.Code{literal: "elixir"} = node -> %{node | literal: "ex"}
...>   %MDEx.Code{literal: "rust"} = node -> %{node | literal: "rs"}
...>   node -> node
...> end)
%MDEx.Document{
  nodes: [
    %MDEx.Heading{nodes: [%MDEx.Text{literal: "Languages"}], level: 1, setext: false},
    %MDEx.Paragraph{nodes: [%MDEx.Code{num_backticks: 1, literal: "ex"}]},
    %MDEx.Paragraph{nodes: [%MDEx.Code{num_backticks: 1, literal: "rs"}]}
  ]
}

Or fragments of a document:

iex> fragment = MDEx.parse_fragment!("Lang: `elixir`")
iex> MDEx.traverse_and_update(fragment, fn
...>   %MDEx.Code{literal: "elixir"} = node -> %{node | literal: "ex"}
...>   node -> node
...> end)
%MDEx.Paragraph{nodes: [%MDEx.Text{literal: "Lang: "}, %MDEx.Code{num_backticks: 1, literal: "ex"}]}

@spec traverse_and_update(MDEx.Document.t(), any(), (MDEx.Document.md_node() ->
                                                 MDEx.Document.md_node())) ::
  MDEx.Document.t()

Low-level function to traverse and update the Markdown document preserving the tree structure format and keeping an accumulator.

See MDEx.Document for more information about the tree structure and for higher-level functions using the Access and Enumerable protocols.

Example

iex> import MDEx.Sigil
iex> doc = ~M"""
...> # Languages
...>
...> `elixir`
...>
...> `rust`
...> """
iex> MDEx.traverse_and_update(doc, 0, fn
...>   %MDEx.Code{literal: "elixir"} = node, acc -> {%{node | literal: "ex"}, acc + 1}
...>   %MDEx.Code{literal: "rust"} = node, acc -> {%{node | literal: "rs"}, acc + 1}
...>   node, acc -> {node, acc}
...> end)
{%MDEx.Document{
  nodes: [
    %MDEx.Heading{nodes: [%MDEx.Text{literal: "Languages"}], level: 1, setext: false},
    %MDEx.Paragraph{nodes: [%MDEx.Code{num_backticks: 1, literal: "ex"}]},
    %MDEx.Paragraph{nodes: [%MDEx.Code{num_backticks: 1, literal: "rs"}]}
  ]
}, 2}

Also works with fragments.
