Crate comrak

source ·
Expand description

A 100% CommonMark and GFM compatible Markdown parser. Source repository is at https://github.com/kivikakk/comrak.

The design is based on cmark, so familiarity with that will help.

You can use comrak::markdown_to_html directly:

use comrak::{markdown_to_html, ComrakOptions};
assert_eq!(markdown_to_html("Hello, **世界**!", &ComrakOptions::default()),
           "<p>Hello, <strong>世界</strong>!</p>\n");

Or you can parse the input into an AST yourself, manipulate it, and then use your desired formatter:

use comrak::{Arena, parse_document, format_html, ComrakOptions};
use comrak::nodes::{AstNode, NodeValue};

// The returned nodes are created in the supplied Arena, and are bound by its lifetime.
let arena = Arena::new();

let root = parse_document(
    &arena,
    "This is my input.\n\n1. Also my input.\n2. Certainly my input.\n",
    &ComrakOptions::default());

fn iter_nodes<'a, F>(node: &'a AstNode<'a>, f: &F)
    where F : Fn(&'a AstNode<'a>) {
    f(node);
    for c in node.children() {
        iter_nodes(c, f);
    }
}

iter_nodes(root, &|node| {
    match &mut node.data.borrow_mut().value {
        &mut NodeValue::Text(ref mut text) => {
            let orig = std::mem::replace(text, String::new());
            *text = orig.replace("my", "your");
        }
        _ => (),
    }
});

let mut html = vec![];
format_html(root, &ComrakOptions::default(), &mut html).unwrap();

assert_eq!(
    String::from_utf8(html).unwrap(),
    "<p>This is your input.</p>\n\
     <ol>\n\
     <li>Also your input.</li>\n\
     <li>Certainly your input.</li>\n\
     </ol>\n");
