Black Friday
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is an implementation of John Gruber's [markdown][1] in [Go][2].
|
||
|
|
It is a translation of the [upskirt][3] library written in C with a
|
||
|
|
few minor changes. It retains the paranoia of the original (it is
|
||
|
|
careful not to trust its input, and as such it should be safe to
|
||
|
|
feed it arbitrary user-supplied inputs). It also retains the
|
||
|
|
emphasis on high performance, and the source is almost as ugly as
|
||
|
|
the original.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HTML output is currently supported, along with Smartpants
|
||
|
|
extensions.

Installation
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Assuming you have recent version of Go installed, along with git:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
goinstall github.com/russross/blackfriday
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
will download, compile, and install the package into
|
||
|
|
`$GOROOT/src/pkg/github.com/russross/blackfriday`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check out `example/main.go` for an example of how to use it. Run
|
||
|
|
`gomake` in that directory to build a simple command-line markdown
|
||
|
|
tool:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
cd $GOROOT/src/pkg/github.com/russross/blackfriday
|
||
|
|
gomake markdown
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
will build the binary `markdown` in the `example` directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

||

|
Extensions
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In addition to the extensions offered by upskirt, this package
|
||
|
|
implements two additional Smartypants options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* LaTeX-style dash parsing, where `--` is translated into
|
||
|
|
`–`
|
||
|
|
* Generic fractions, where anything that looks like a fraction
|
||
|
|
is translated into suitable HTML (instead of just a few special
|
||
|
|
cases). For example, `4/5` becomes `<sup>4</sup>⁄<sub>5</sub>`
|
||

|
Todo
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Code cleanup
|
||
|
|
* Better code documentation
|
||
