marked

Markdown Parsing

This feature allows you to parse markdown text and convert it to HTML. The code sample shows how to use marked to convert a simple markdown string into HTML.

const marked = require('marked');
console.log(marked('# Marked in Node.js\n\nRendered by **marked**.'));

Options Customization

This feature allows you to customize the behavior of the marked parser by setting options such as GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM), breaks, pedantic, sanitize, smart lists, and smartypants.

const marked = require('marked');
marked.setOptions({
  renderer: new marked.Renderer(),
  gfm: true,
  breaks: false,
  pedantic: false,
  sanitize: false,
  smartLists: true,
  smartypants: false
});
console.log(marked('I am using __markdown__.'));

Synchronous Parsing

This feature allows you to parse markdown synchronously, which is useful when you don't need to handle asynchronous operations.

const marked = require('marked');
const html = marked('## Synchronous markdown to HTML');
console.log(html);

Asynchronous Parsing

This feature allows you to parse markdown asynchronously, which can be useful when dealing with file systems or network requests.

const marked = require('marked');
marked('# Asynchronous markdown to HTML', function(err, content) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(content);
});

Lexer and Parser

This feature exposes the lexer and parser, allowing you to generate tokens from markdown and then parse those tokens into HTML. This can be useful for advanced use-cases where you need to manipulate the tokens before parsing.

const marked = require('marked');
const tokens = marked.lexer('# Lexing markdown');
console.log(tokens);
const html = marked.parser(tokens);
console.log(html);
