1 // Package blackfriday is a markdown processor.
|
|
2 //
|
|
3 // It translates plain text with simple formatting rules into an AST, which can
|
|
4 // then be further processed to HTML (provided by Blackfriday itself) or other
|
|
5 // formats (provided by the community).
|
|
6 //
|
|
7 // The simplest way to invoke Blackfriday is to call the Run function. It will
|
|
8 // take a text input and produce a text output in HTML (or other format).
|
|
9 //
|
|
10 // A slightly more sophisticated way to use Blackfriday is to create a Markdown
|
|
11 // processor and to call Parse, which returns a syntax tree for the input
|
|
12 // document. You can leverage Blackfriday's parsing for content extraction from
|
|
13 // markdown documents. You can assign a custom renderer and set various options
|
|
14 // to the Markdown processor.
|
|

|
16 // If you're interested in calling Blackfriday from command line, see

19 // Sanitized Anchor Names
|
|
20 //
|
|
21 // Blackfriday includes an algorithm for creating sanitized anchor names
|
|
22 // corresponding to a given input text. This algorithm is used to create
|
|
23 // anchors for headings when AutoHeadingIDs extension is enabled. The
|
|
24 // algorithm is specified below, so that other packages can create
|
|
25 // compatible anchor names and links to those anchors.
|
|
26 //
|
|
27 // The algorithm iterates over the input text, interpreted as UTF-8,
|
|
28 // one Unicode code point (rune) at a time. All runes that are letters (category L)
|
|
29 // or numbers (category N) are considered valid characters. They are mapped to
|
|
30 // lower case, and included in the output. All other runes are considered
|
|
31 // invalid characters. Invalid characters that precede the first valid character,
|
|
32 // as well as invalid character that follow the last valid character
|
|
33 // are dropped completely. All other sequences of invalid characters
|
|
34 // between two valid characters are replaced with a single dash character '-'.
|
|
35 //
|
|
36 // SanitizedAnchorName exposes this functionality, and can be used to
|
|
37 // create compatible links to the anchor names generated by blackfriday.
|
|
38 // This algorithm is also implemented in a small standalone package at
|
|
39 // github.com/shurcooL/sanitized_anchor_name. It can be useful for clients
|
|
40 // that want a small package and don't need full functionality of blackfriday.

|
|
45 // Otherwise, users of sanitized_anchor_name will get anchor names
|
|
46 // that are incompatible with those generated by blackfriday.
