## About

**upndown** converts HTML documents to Markdown documents.

**upndown** is designed to offer a fast, reliable and whitespace perfect conversion for HTML documents.

## Install / Usage

### Browser

**Standard loading**

Download the zip archive on github, unzip, copy in your web folder, and in your HTML:

```html

    var und = new upndown();

    und.convert('<h1>Hello, World !</h1>', function(err, markdown) {

        if(err) { console.err(err); }

        else { console.log(markdown); } // Outputs: # Hello, World !

    });

```

**Using RequireJS**

Download the zip archive on github, unzip, copy in your web folder, and in your HTML:

```html

require.config({

    paths: {

        'upndown': '/assets/upndown/lib/upndown.bundle.min'

    }

});

require(['upndown'], function(upndown) {

    var und = new upndown();

    und.convert('<h1>Hello, World !</h1>', function(err, markdown) {

        if(err) { console.err(err);

        else { console.log(markdown); } // Outputs: # Hello, World !

    });

});

```

### Nodejs

**Install**

```bash

npm install upndown

```

**Use**

```js

var upndown = require('upndown');

var und = new upndown();

und.convert('
Hello, World !
', function(err, markdown) {

    if(err) { console.err(err);

    else { console.log(markdown); } // Outputs: # Hello, World !

});

```

**Warning: With Node < 0.12.8, you'll have to require a polyfill for the `Promise` functionnality (like https://www.npmjs.com/package/bluebird); see #10 on how to do that.**


## Options

### `decodeEntities`

By default Updown will decode all html entities, so source HTML like this:

```html

I'm an escaped <em>code sample</em>.

```


Will become:

```

I'm an escaped *code sample*.

```

If your use case does not call for that behavior and you wish HTML entities to

stay encoded, you can pass an option to the constructor:

```js

var und = new upndown({decodeEntities: false})

```

Then just use as normal.

## Test

### In the browser

Navigate to `test/browser/` inside the **upndown** folder. Browser tests are executed by QUnit.

### Nodejs

To run the tests, simply execute:

```sh

npm test

```

Nodejs tests are executed using mocha.
