markdown-it-for-inline

Inline tokens iterator for markdown-it markdown parser.

This plugin allows to apply function to certain types of inline tokens. Speed will not be the fastest possible, but you can do quick prototyping of certain rule types.

Usage

Install

node.js, browser:

npm install @gerhobbelt/markdown-it-for-inline --save
bower install @gerhobbelt/markdown-it-for-inline --save

Use

var iterator = require('@gerhobbelt/markdown-it-for-inline');

// plugin params are:
//
// - rule name (should be unique)
// - token type to apply
// - function
//
var md = require('@gerhobbelt/markdown-it')()
            .use(iterator, 'foo_replace', 'text', function (tokens, idx) {
              tokens[idx].content = tokens[idx].content.replace(/foo/g, 'bar');
            });

Differences in browser. If you load script directly into the page, without package system, module will add itself globally as window.markdownitForInline.

Example 2. Cut link prefixes

var iterator = require('@gerhobbelt/markdown-it-for-inline');

var md = require('@gerhobbelt/markdown-it')({ linkify: true })
            .use(iterator, 'url_beautify', 'link_open', function (tokens, idx) {
              // Make sure link contains only text
              if ((tokens[idx + 2].type !== 'link_close') ||
                  (tokens[idx + 1].type !== 'text')) {
                return;
              }
              // Do replacement
              tokens[idx + 1].content = tokens[idx + 1].content
                                          .replace(/^https?:\/\//, '')
                                          .replace(/^www./, '');
            });

Example 3. Make links open in new window

var iterator = require('@gerhobbelt/markdown-it-for-inline');

var md = require('@gerhobbelt/markdown-it')({ linkify: true })
            .use(iterator, 'url_new_win', 'link_open', function (tokens, idx) {
              tokens[idx].attrPush([ 'target', '_blank' ]);
            });
