Markdown Gradle Plugin
-------------------------
[](https://github.com/kordamp/markdown-gradle-plugin/actions)
[](https://plugins.gradle.org/plugin/org.kordamp.gradle.markdown)
This plugin provides a facility for converting Markdown into HTML, as well as
converting HTML back into Markdown. It is based on the [grails-markdown][]
plugin by Ted Naleid.
See [Daring Fireball][] for syntax basics.
This plugin makes use of the [Pegdown][] and [Remark][] libraries.
Installation
------------
Use the following snippet
buildscript {
repositories {
gradlePluginPortal()
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'org.kordamp.gradle:markdown-gradle-plugin:2.2.0'
}
}
apply plugin: 'org.kordamp.gradle.markdown'
Or alternatively
plugins {
id 'org.kordamp.gradle.markdown' version '2.2.0'
}
Usage
-----
The plugin adds 2 tasks named `markdownToHtml` and `htmlToMarkdown`. These task expose
three properties as part of their configuration
#### markdownToHtml
* sourceDir - where the markdown sources are. Type: File. Default: `src/markdown`.
* outputDir - where generated html go. Type: File. Default: `$buildDir/gen-html`.
* configuration - a Map with further config tweaks. Explained in the next section.
* inputEncoding - the file encoding used to read all files inside `sourceDir`.
* outputEncoding - the file encoding used to write all files to `outputDir`.
* parsingTimeout - how much time (ms) PegDown should wait whjen processint instructions. Defaults to 2000L
Sources may have any of the following extensions in order to be discovered
* .md
* .markdown
Non markdown files will be copied "as is" to `outputDir`.
#### htmlToMarkdown
* sourceDir - where the html sources are. Type: File. Default: `src/html`.
* outputDir - where generated markdown go. Type: File. Default: `$buildDir/gen-markdown`.
* configuration - a Map with further config tweaks. Explained in the next section.
* inputEncoding - the file encoding used to read all files inside `sourceDir`.
* outputEncoding - the file encoding used to write all files to `outputDir`.
Sources may have any of the following extensions in order to be discovered
* .html
Non html files will be copied "as is" to `outputDir`.
## Configuration ##
The default configuration is almost 100% pure Markdown, with one caveat:
> NOTE: The Markdown engine does not allow in-word emphasis.
>
> This means that when you write `an_emphasized_word`, you don't get anemphasizedword.
> You just get `an_emphasized_word`. This is true no matter the character used
> (`_` or `*`), or for italics or bold.
#### Hardwraps ####
markdownToHtml.hardwraps = true // Configuration
[hardwraps: true] // Custom Map
Markdown makes simple hardwraps a little difficult, requiring the user to write
two spaces at the end of a line to get a linebreak. This is convenient when
writing in a terminal, but inconvenient if your editor handles soft-wraps internally.
Enabling hardwraps means that all linebreaks are kept.
#### Auto Links ####
markdownToHtml.autoLinks = true // Configuration
[autoLinks: true] // Custom Map
Auto Linking enables conversion of HTTP and HTTPS urls into links without explicit
link generation.
Example Markdown:
http://gradle.org/
Example HTML:
#### Abbreviations ####
markdownToHtml.abbreviations = true // Configuration
[abbreviations: true] // Custom Map
Enables abbreviations are in the [Markdown Extra][] style. These allow the Markdown
output to generate `` tags.
Example Markdown:
This is HTML
*[HTML]: Hyper-Text Markup Language
Example HTML:
This is HTML
#### Definition Lists ####
markdownToHtml.definitionLists = true // Configuration
[definitionLists: true] // Custom Map
Enables `
- ` lists in the [Markdown Extra][] style.
- Gradle
- Gradle is build automation evolved.
Example Markdown:
Gradle
: Gradle is build automation evolved.
Example HTML:
#### Smart Quotes, Smart Punctation ####
markdownToHtml.smartQuotes = true // Configuration
[smartQuotes: true] // Custom Map
markdownToHtml.smartPunctuation = true // Configuration
[smartPunctuation: true] // Custom Map
// or, for both use
markdownToHtml.smart = true // Configuration
[smart: true] // Custom Map
Enables conversion of simple quotes and punctuation into HTML entities and back
again, such as converting `"Foo"` into `“Foo”`, or `---` into `—`.
#### Fenced Code Blocks ####
markdownToHtml.fencedCodeBlocks = true // Configuration
[fencedCodeBlocks: true] // Custom Map
Allows the use of several tildes (`~`) to delineate code blocks, instead of
forcing the users to indent each line four spaces.
> Note: If enabled, all code blocks will use fences when converting HTML back
> into Markdown.
#### Tables ####
markdownToHtml.tables = true // Configuration
[tables: true] // Custom Map
If tables are allowed, you can create tables using [Markdown Extra][] or
[Multimarkdown][] syntax. This also converts tables from HTML *back* into clean,
easy-to-read plain text tables.
An example in Markdown:
| | Grouping ||
| First Header | Second Header | Third Header |
|:------------ |:-------------:| ------------:|
| Content | *Long Cell* ||
| Content | **Cell** | Cell |
| New Section | More | Data |
| And more | And more ||
#### All ####
The `all` option easily enables these items:
* Hardwraps
* Auto Links
* Abbreviations
* Definition Lists
* Smart Quotes
* Smart Punctuation
* Fenced Code Blocks
* Tables
#### Remove HTML ####
markdownToHtml.removeHtml = true // Configuration
[removeHtml: true] // Custom Map
With this option enabled, all raw HTML will be removed when converting Markdown
to HTML.
#### Remove Tables ####
markdownToHtml.removeTables = true // Configuration
[removeTables: true] // Custom Map
Removes tables when converting HTML to Markdown, instead of leaving them as-is.
#### Base URI ####
markdownToHtml.baseUri = 'http://example.com'
You can override the default base URI (which is determined by your configuration).
The base URI is used when converting relative links.
Setting it to `false` will simply remove relative links.
#### Customize Pegdown ####
markdownToHtml.customizePegdown = { int extensions -> ... }
Allows for customization of the Pegdown extensions before creating a
`PegdownProcessor` using a closure. This closure will be called at the time the
`PegdownProcessor` is first needed, not necessarily at startup.
#### Customize Remark ####
markdownToHtml.customizeRemark = { com.overzealous.remark.Options options -> ... }
Allows for customization of the Remark `Options` before creating a `Remark` using
a closure. This closure will be called at the time the `Remark` is first needed,
not necessarily at startup.
