## Overview

`mdx-gen` is a flexible Rust library that converts Markdown into HTML, providing enhanced features like custom block extensions, syntax highlighting, and table formatting.

`mdx-gen` uses the high-performance `comrak` library for Markdown parsing and offers flexible options for modifying and extending Markdown behavior.

### Key Features

- **Markdown to HTML Conversion**: Converts Markdown to responsive HTML using the `comrak` parser, ensuring fast and accurate rendering of Markdown content.
- **Custom Block Extensions**: Allows the use of custom blocks such as notes, warnings, and tips, transforming them into structured HTML elements for improved content formatting.
- **Syntax Highlighting**: Automatically applies syntax highlighting to code blocks for a wide range of programming languages, making code snippets more readable and professional.
- **Enhanced Table Formatting**: Converts Markdown tables into responsive HTML tables with proper alignment and additional styling for better usability across devices.
- **Flexible Configuration**: Provides a customizable `MarkdownOptions` structure that allows developers to enable or disable specific features (e.g., custom blocks, enhanced tables, or syntax highlighting).
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling system with detailed error reporting to ensure smooth Markdown processing, even in complex cases.

### Supported Extensions

`mdx-gen` offers the following extensions, which can be enabled or disabled individually via `MarkdownOptions`:

- Custom blocks (notes, warnings, tips)
- Enhanced table formatting with responsive design
- Syntax highlighting for code blocks
- Strikethrough and autolink support
- Advanced error reporting for improved debugging

## Installation

Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
mdx-gen = "0.0.1"
```

## Usage

Here are some examples of how to use the library:

### Basic Usage

```rust
use mdx_gen::{process_markdown, MarkdownOptions};

let markdown_content = "# Hello, world!\n\nThis is a paragraph.";
let options = MarkdownOptions::new()
.with_enhanced_tables(false);
let html = process_markdown(markdown_content, &options).unwrap();
println!("HTML output: {}", html);
```

### Custom Blocks and Syntax Highlighting

```rust
use mdx_gen::{process_markdown, MarkdownOptions};

let markdown_content = r#"
# Example

This is a note.

``rust
fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");
}
"#;

let options = MarkdownOptions::new()
.with_custom_blocks(true)
.with_syntax_highlighting(true)
.with_enhanced_tables(true)
.with_comrak_options({
let mut opts = comrak::ComrakOptions::default();
opts.extension.table = true;
opts
});

let html = process_markdown(markdown_content, &options).unwrap();
println!("HTML output: {}", html);
```

## Modules
