.. code-block:: sh

pip install django-markupfield-helpers

**GitHub (development branch)**

.. code-block:: sh

pip install git+http://github.com/mfcovington/django-markupfield-helpers.git@develop

Configuration
=============

Add ``markupfield_helpers`` to ``INSTALLED_APPS`` in ``settings.py``:

.. code-block:: python

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'markupfield_helpers',
)

Add a link to the CSS file for syntax highlighting in ``base.html`` or in a specific template.

Helpers
=======

``MarkupField``
---------------

The ``MarkupField`` class from ``markupfield_helpers`` can be used in place of the class of the same name from ``markupfield``.

The ``markupfield_helpers`` version comes with four markup types defined:

- ``Markdown`` (**Default**): Markdown 2 with extras (``code-friendly``, ``cuddled-lists``, ``fenced-code-blocks``, ``footnotes``, and ``tables``)
- ``Markdown Basic``: Markdown 2 without extras
- ``Plain Text``
- ``reStructuredText``

Here is a basic example of how to use the ``markupfield_helpers`` version of ``MarkupField``:

.. code-block:: python

from django.db import models
from markupfield_helpers.helpers import MarkupField

class Article(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=100)
body = MarkupField()

``MARKUP_FIELD_TYPES``
----------------------

Alternatively, ``MARKUP_FIELD_TYPES`` can be imported from ``markupfield_helpers.helpers`` and used as-is or modified.
This is equivalent to the code above:

.. code-block:: python

from django.db import models
from markupfield.fields import MarkupField
from markupfield_helpers.helpers import MARKUP_FIELD_TYPES

class Article(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=100)
body = MarkupField(
default_markup_type='Markdown',
markup_choices=MARKUP_FIELD_TYPES,
)
