Plugin extensions — markdown-it-py (original) (raw)

Plugin extensions#

The following plugins are embedded within the core package:

• tables (GFM)
• strikethrough (GFM)

These can be enabled individually:

from markdown_it import MarkdownIt md = MarkdownIt("commonmark").enable('table')

or as part of a configuration:

from markdown_it import MarkdownIt md = MarkdownIt("gfm-like")

Many other plugins are then available via the mdit-py-plugins package, including:

• Front-matter
• Footnotes
• Definition lists
• Task lists
• Heading anchors
• LaTeX math
• Containers
• Word count

For full information see: https://mdit-py-plugins.readthedocs.io

Or you can write them yourself!

They can be chained and loaded via:

from markdown_it import MarkdownIt from mdit_py_plugins import plugin1, plugin2 md = MarkdownIt().use(plugin1, keyword=value).use(plugin2, keyword=value) html_string = md.render("some Markdown")
