This is a standalone version of the dartdoc markdown library. It parses markdown and converts it to HTML.
You can see a demo running in the browser here (tested in Chrome and Dartium). The client library currently only supports HTML syntax highlighting do to some dart:io dependencies in libcss and analyzer_experimental.
Add this to your pubspec.yaml
(or create it):
dependencies:
markdown: any
Then run the Pub Package Manager (comes with the Dart SDK):
pub install
import 'package:markdown/markdown.dart' show markdownToHtml;
main() {
print(markdownToHtml('Hello *Markdown*'));
}
Version 0.4 adds support for GitHub style triple backtick code blocks, with built in Dart syntax coloring. Custom classifiers can be added using a syntax list:
import 'package:markdown/markdown.dart';
main() {
List<InlineSyntax> nyanSyntax =
[new TextSyntax('nyan', sub: '~=[,,_,,]:3')];
print(markdownToHtml('nyan', inlineSyntaxes: nyanSyntax));
}
