markdown

GitHub-Flavored Markdown to semantic HTML.

Naming convention: import the module under its bare name (import "markdown"), reach members with a backslash, and call methods in camelCase: markdown\someMethod.

Methods

toHtml

Render GitHub-Flavored Markdown to semantic HTML. Strips a leading YAML frontmatter block (a "---" fenced header at the top of the document) before rendering. Auto-IDs every heading so #fragment links resolve, and rewrites relative .md links (incl. README.md → index.html) to their generated .html equivalents. Raw HTML in the source is passed through (intended for trusted, first-party docs).

Signature: markdown\toHtml(source) → string · source

Returns: string

frontmatter

Parse the leading YAML frontmatter block (a "---" fenced header at the top of the document) and return it as a JSON object string; decode with serialize.jsonDecode. Returns "{}" when no frontmatter is present.

Signature: markdown\frontmatter(source) → string · source

Returns: string

stripFrontmatter

Return the Markdown body with any leading YAML frontmatter block removed (the source unchanged when none is present).
