# Rimu Markup

Rimu is a readable-text to HTML markup language inspired by AsciiDoc
and Markdown.

At its core Rimu is a simple readable-text markup similar in scope to
Markdown, but with two additional areas of functionality (both built
into the Rimu markup syntax):

1. Markup generation can be customized and extended.
2. Rimu includes a simple, flexible macro language.

In addition, a subset of Rimu is compatible with a [subset of Markdown](https://srackham.github.io/rimu/tips.html#markdown-compatible)
and Rimu has been ported to a number of [languages and runtime environments](https://srackham.github.io/rimu/reference.html#rimu-implementations).

## Learn more
[Read the documentation](https://srackham.github.io/rimu/) and experiment with Rimu
in the [Rimu Playground](https://srackham.github.io/rimu/rimuplayground.html) or
open the `rimuplayground.html` file locally in your browser.

See the Rimu [Change Log](https://srackham.github.io/rimu/changelog.html) for
the latest changes.

**NOTE**: The remainder of this document is specific to the
[TypeScript implementation](https://github.com/srackham/rimu) for
Node.js, Deno and browser platforms.

## Quick start
Try the Rimu library in the npm Runkit page:

1. Open the [Rimu npm Runkit page](https://npm.runkit.com/rimu) in your browser.
2. Paste in this code then press the _Run_ button.
``` javascript
const rimu = require("rimu")
const html = rimu.render('Hello *Rimu*!')
```
This will output `"

Hello Rimu!

"`.

## Installing and using Rimu
**Node.js**

Use `npm` to install the Node.js Rimu library module and the `rimuc`
CLI:

npm install -g rimu

Run a test from the command prompt to check the `rimuc` CLI command is
working:

echo 'Hello *Rimu*!' | rimuc

This should print:

Hello Rimu!

**Deno**

Deno modules don't need explicit installation just import the module
URL, for example:

``` javascript
import * as rimu from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/mod.ts";

console.log(rimu.render("Hello *Rimu*!"));
```

Use the Deno `install` command to install the Rimu CLI executable.
The following example creates the CLI executable named `rimudeno`
in `$HOME/.deno/bin/rimudeno`:

deno install -A --name rimudeno https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/src/deno/rimuc.ts

**Browser**

Rimu builds JavaScript ES module files in the `./lib/esm` directory along with a
bundled version `./lib/esm/rimu.min.js`. The `rimu.min.js` ES module file was
bundled by [Rollup](https://github.com/rollup/rollup) and minimized with
[terser](https://github.com/terser/terser). Example usage:

``` html

import * as rimu from "./rimu.min.js";
alert(rimu.render("Hello *Rimu*!"));

```

## Building Rimu and the Rimu documentation
To build Rimu you need to have [Deno](https://deno.land/) and
[Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed.

1. Install the Git repository from [Github](https://github.com/srackham/rimu).

git clone https://github.com/srackham/rimu.git

2. Install dependencies:

cd rimu
npm install
deno cache --reload src/deno/rimuc.ts

3. Use the [Drake](https://github.com/srackham/drake) task runner
module to build and test Rimu library modules and CLIs for Deno and Node.js
platforms:

deno run -A Drakefile.ts build test
