Markdown to Array

Convert markdown text to a simplified DOM array.

Install

npm install --save @jwerre/markdown_to_array

NOTE: use @jwerre/markdown_to_array instead of markdown_to_array

Example

MdToArray = require('markdown_to_array')
const md = `\
This is *italics* and this is **bold**.

- list item 1
- list item 2
- list item 3

Here is a [hyperlink](https://example.com)!

Here are some **images**: ![some alt text](https://example.com/img1.png)

![](https://example.com/img2.png)`;

const mdDom = new MdToArray(md);
const parsed = mdDom.parse();
console.log(parsed);

Result:

[
  [
    { text: 'This is ', tag: 'P', P: true },
    { text: 'italics', tag: 'EM', EM: true },
    { text: ' and this is ', tag: 'P', P: true },
    { text: 'bold', tag: 'STRONG', STRONG: true },
    { text: '.', tag: 'P', P: true }
