Installation

1. Add the dependency to your shard.yml:

   dependencies:
     common_marker:
       github: mamantoha/crystal-cmark-gfm

2. Run shards install

Usage

require "common_marker"

text = File.read("README.md")
extensions = ["table", "strikethrough", "autolink", "tagfilter", "tasklist"]
options = ["unsafe"]
md = CommonMarker.new(text, options: options, extensions: extensions)
html = md.to_html

Extensions

CommonMarker initializer takes an optional third argument defining the extensions you want enabled as your CommonMark document is being processed. The documentation for these extensions are defined in this spec.

The available extensions are:

• table - This provides support for tables.
• strikethrough - This provides support for strikethroughs.
• autolink - This provides support for automatically converting URLs to anchor tags.
• tagfilter - This escapes several "unsafe" HTML tags, causing them to not have any effect.
• tasklist - This provides support for task list items.
