|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
You can change some of showdown's default behavior through options.
|
|
|
|
### Setting options
|
|
|
|
Options can be set:
|
|
|
|
#### Globally
|
|
|
|
Setting a "global" option affects all instances of showdown
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
showdown.setOption('optionKey', 'value');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Locally
|
|
Setting a "local" option only affects the specified Converter object.
|
|
Local options can be set:
|
|
|
|
* **through the constructor**
|
|
```js
|
|
var converter = new showdown.Converter({optionKey: 'value'});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **through the setOption() method**
|
|
```js
|
|
var converter = new showdown.Converter();
|
|
converter.setOption('optionKey', 'value');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Getting an option
|
|
|
|
Showdown provides 2 methods (both local and global) to retrieve previous set options.
|
|
|
|
#### getOption()
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Global
|
|
var myOption = showdown.getOption('optionKey');
|
|
|
|
//Local
|
|
var myOption = converter.getOption('optionKey');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### getOptions()
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Global
|
|
var showdownGlobalOptions = showdown.getOptions();
|
|
|
|
//Local
|
|
var thisConverterSpecificOptions = converter.getOptions();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Retrieve the default options
|
|
|
|
You can get showdown's default options with:
|
|
```js
|
|
var defaultOptions = showdown.getDefaultOptions();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Valid Options
|
|
|
|
* **omitExtraWLInCodeBlocks**: (boolean) [default false] Omit the trailing newline in a code block. Ex:
|
|
|
|
This:
|
|
```html
|
|
<code><pre>var foo = 'bar';
|
|
</pre></code>
|
|
```
|
|
Becomes this:
|
|
```html
|
|
<code><pre>var foo = 'bar';</pre></code>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **noHeaderId**: (boolean) [default false] Disable the automatic generation of header ids.
|
|
Setting to true overrides **prefixHeaderId**
|
|
|
|
* **customizedHeaderId**: (boolean) [default false] Use text in curly braces as header id. **(since v1.7.0)**
|
|
Example:
|
|
```
|
|
## Sample header {real-id} will use real-id as id
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **ghCompatibleHeaderId**: (boolean) [default false] Generate header ids compatible with github style
|
|
(spaces are replaced with dashes and a bunch of non alphanumeric chars are removed) **(since v1.5.5)**
|
|
|
|
* **prefixHeaderId**: (string/boolean) [default false] Add a prefix to the generated header ids.
|
|
Passing a string will prefix that string to the header id. Setting to `true` will add a generic 'section' prefix.
|
|
|
|
* **rawPrefixHeaderId**: (boolean) [default false] Setting this option to true will prevent showdown from modifying the prefix.
|
|
This might result in malformed IDs (if, for instance, the " char is used in the prefix).
|
|
Has no effect if prefixHeaderId is set to false. **(since v 1.7.3)**
|
|
|
|
* **rawHeaderId**: (boolean) [default false] Remove only spaces, ' and " from generated header ids (including prefixes),
|
|
replacing them with dashes (-). WARNING: This might result in malformed ids **(since v1.7.3)**
|
|
|
|
* **parseImgDimensions**: (boolean) [default false] Enable support for setting image dimensions from within markdown syntax.
|
|

 Image with width of 80% and height of 5em
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **headerLevelStart**: (integer) [default 1] Set the header starting level. For instance, setting this to 3 means that
|
|
|
|
```md
|
|
# foo
|
|
```
|
|
will be parsed as
|
|
|
|
```html

|
<h3>foo</h3>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **simplifiedAutoLink**: (boolean) [default false] Turning this option on will enable automatic linking to urls.
|
|
This means that:
|
|
|
|
```md

|
|
will be parsed as

|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```md
|
|
some text with__underscores__in middle
|
|
```
|
|
will be parsed as
|
|
```html

<p>some text with__underscores__in middle</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **literalMidWordAsterisks**: (boolean) [default false] Turning this on will stop showdown from interpreting asterisks

|
|
|
|
## Flavors
|
|
|
|
You can also use flavors or presets to set the correct options automatically, so that showdown behaves like popular markdown flavors.
|
|
|
|
Currently, the following flavors are available:
|
|
|
|
* original - original markdown flavor as in [John Gruber's spec](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/)
|
|
* vanilla - showdown base flavor (as from v1.3.1)
|
|
* github - GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Global
|
|
```javascript
|
|
showdown.setFlavor('github');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Instance
|
|
```javascript
|
|
converter.setFlavor('github');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## CLI Tool
|
|
|
|
Showdown also comes bundled with a Command Line Interface tool. You can check the [CLI wiki page][cli-wiki] for more info
|
|
|
|
## Integration with AngularJS
|
|
|
|
ShowdownJS project also provides seamlessly integration with AngularJS via a "plugin".
|
|
Please visit https://github.com/showdownjs/ngShowdown for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Integration with TypeScript
|
|
|
|
If you're using TypeScript you maybe want to use the types from [DefinitelyTyped][definitely-typed]
|
|
|
|
## Integration with SystemJS/JSPM
|
|
|
|
Integration with SystemJS can be obtained via the third party ["system-md" plugin](https://github.com/guybedford/system-md).
|
|
|
|
## Integration with VueJS
|
|
|
|
To use ShowdownJS as a Vue component quickly, you can check [vue-showdown](https://vue-showdown.js.org/).
|
|
|
|
## XSS vulnerability
|
|
|
|
Showdown doesn't sanitize the input. This is by design since markdown relies on it to allow certain features to be correctly parsed into HTML.
|
|
This, however, means XSS injection is quite possible.
|
|
|
|
Please refer to the wiki article [Markdown's XSS Vulnerability (and how to mitigate it)][xss-wiki]
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Extensions
|
|
|
|
Showdown allows additional functionality to be loaded via extensions. (you can find a list of known showdown extensions [here][ext-wiki])
|
|
You can also find a boilerplate, to create your own extensions in [this repository][boilerplate-repo]
|
|
|
|
### Client-side Extension Usage
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<script src="showdown.js"></script>
|
|
<script src="twitter-extension.js"></script>
|
|
<script>
|
|
var converter = new showdown.Converter({ extensions: ['twitter'] });
|
|
</script>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Server-side Extension Usage
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
var showdown = require('showdown'),
|
|
myExtension = require('myExtension'),
|
|
converter = new showdown.Converter({ extensions: ['myExtension'] });
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Tests
|
|
|
|
A suite of tests is available which require node.js. Once node is installed, run the following command from
|
|
the project root to install the dependencies:
|
|
|
|
npm install
|
|
|
|
Once installed the tests can be run from the project root using:
|
|
|
|
npm test
|
|
|
|
New test cases can easily be added. Create a markdown file (ending in `.md`) which contains the markdown to test.
|
|
Create a `.html` file of the exact same name. It will automatically be tested when the tests are executed with `mocha`.

## Contributing
|
|
|
|
If you wish to contribute please read the following quick guide.
|
|
|
|
### Want a Feature?
|
|
You can request a new feature by submitting an issue. If you would like to implement a new feature feel free to issue a
|
|
Pull Request.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Pull requests (PRs)
|
|
PRs are awesome. However, before you submit your pull request consider the following guidelines:
|
|
|
|
- Search GitHub for an open or closed Pull Request that relates to your submission. You don't want to duplicate effort.
|
|
- When issuing PRs that change code, make your changes in a new git branch based on master:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git checkout -b my-fix-branch master
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Documentation (i.e: README.md) changes can be made directly against master.
|
|
- Run the full test suite before submitting and make sure all tests pass (obviously =P).
|
|
- Try to follow our [**coding style rules**][coding-rules].
|
|
Breaking them prevents the PR to pass the tests.
|
|
- Refrain from fixing multiple issues in the same pull request. It's preferable to open multiple small PRs instead of one
|
|
hard to review big one.
|
|
- If the PR introduces a new feature or fixes an issue, please add the appropriate test case.
|
|
- We use commit notes to generate the changelog. It's extremely helpful if your commit messages adhere to the
|
|
[**AngularJS Git Commit Guidelines**][ng-commit-guide].
|
|
- If we suggest changes then:
|
|
- Make the required updates.
|
|
- Re-run the Angular test suite to ensure tests are still passing.
|
|
- Rebase your branch and force push to your GitHub repository (this will update your Pull Request):
|
|
|
|
```bash
