## Installation

*Pygments Markdown Lexer* can be installed via ``pip install pygments-markdown-lexer`` as usual,

see [releases](https://github.com/jhermann/pygments-markdown-lexer/releases) for an overview of available versions.

To get a bleeding-edge version from source, use these commands:

```sh

repo="jhermann/pygments-markdown-lexer"

pip install -r "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/$repo/master/requirements.txt"

pip install -UI -e "git+https://github.com/$repo.git#egg=${repo#*/}"

```

See [Contributing](#contributing) on how to create a full development environment.

## Usage

Once installed, usually into a virtualenv, the ``pygments_markdown_lexer`` package

is instantly visible to *Pygments*, since it defines a *Setuptools* entry point

for registration.

In order for *Sphinx* to load and recognize the custom lexer, add the

``pygments_markdown_lexer`` package name to the ``extensions`` list in ``conf.py``.

Then use it in a ``code-block`` as if it were a built-in, like this:

    .. code-block:: md

        Enables _Pygments_ to handle

        [Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax)

        in *Sphinx* **code blocks**.

Both ``md`` and ``markdown`` are valid to specify the language for the code block.
