hexo-renderer-markdown-it

hexo-renderer-markdown-it

Add support for Markdown and CommonMark. This plugin uses Markdown-it as a render engine on Hexo.

Installation

In it's current version, Hexo with hexo-renderer-marked predefined as a markdown renderer.

To use hexo-renderer-markdown-it you will have to:

Step 1 - Remove hexo-renderer-marked

$ npm un hexo-renderer-marked --save

Step 2 - Install hexo-renderer-markdown-it

$ npm i hexo-renderer-markdown-it --save

Step 3 - Configure the plugin (or leave empty for reasonable defaults).

Configuration

While the options to enable, or disable Markdown-it plugins is not yet implemented, most if not all of the options available on the vanila parser have been exposed.

Please only choose one of the following options.

Option 1 - Choose defaults

You can choose the CommonMark Strict Mode, which tells the render to follow the latest CommonMark spec.

# Markdown-it config
## Docs: https://www.npmjs.com/package/hexo-renderer-markdown-it
markdown: 'commonmark'

Or you can use Zero Mode. This disables most of the parser functionality. You should only use this mode if you want nothing more than italics or bold.

# Markdown-it config
## Docs: https://www.npmjs.com/package/hexo-renderer-markdown-it
markdown: 'zero'

Option 2 - Don't pass any options to the parser

If you don't pass any configurations to the parser, it defaults to something very close to Github Flavored Markdown.

Option 3 - Specify each module (extending from GFM)

You have the option to pass a very specific configuration to the parser.

# Markdown-it config
## Docs: https://www.npmjs.com/package/hexo-renderer-markdown-it
markdown:
  html: true
  xhtmlOut: false
  breaks: false
  linkify: true
  typographer: true
  quotes: '“”‘’'

• html: true || false If true, the renderer will allow HTML tags inside markdown documents be passed to the resulting document.
• xhtmlOut: true || false If true, the renderer will export XHTML compatible tags (<br /> instead of <br>). This feature exists only there to ensure CommonMark compliance.
• breaks: true || false Line breaks in the source file will be parsed into <br> tags.
• linkify: true || false Parser returns proper links from links inline with the text.
• typographer: true || false Enables substitution for common typography elements like © and curly quotes.
• quotes: Option that defines the double and single quotes used for substituting dumb quotes if typographer is set to true.
