marked-sections

A simple node.js package to use marked to parse markdown and insert <section> tags around heading levels.

Usage

var mdsec = require('marked-sections');

mdsec.setOptions({
	levels: 2,
	heirarchy: false,
	// marked options too
	gfm: true // see marked for full docs
});

html = mdsec.parse(markdownText);

// Or you can do it manually
tree = mdsec.marked.lexer(markdownText);
sectree = mdsec.insertSections(tree, { levels: 1 });
html = mdsec.marked.parser(sectree);

Options

marked-sections takes two options above and beyond marked.

• levels refers to the header levels to wrap in sections. It should be the highest header level that should be wrapped in a section.

• heirarchy will make each level of header wrapped in a heirarchy of section tags. Defaults to false. For example:

  # H1
  something
  ## H2
  else
  # H1
  again

  becomes

  <section>
  	<section>
  		<h1>H1</h1>
  		<p>something</p>
  	</section>
  	<section>
  		<h2>H2</h2>
  		<p>else</p>
  	</section>
  </section>
  <section>
  	<section>
  		<h1>H1</h1>
  		<p>again</p>
  	</section>
  </section>
