Fast and easy to extend. __[Live demo](http://jonschlinkert.github.io/remarkable/demo/)__ - Supports the [CommonMark](http://commonmark.org/) spec + [syntax extensions](#syntax-extensions) + sugar (URL autolinking, typographer). - Configurable syntax! You can add new rules and even replace existing ones. - [High speed](#benchmark)! - [Community plugins](https://www.npmjs.org/browse/keyword/remarkable) on npm. ## Install **node.js:** ```bash npm install remarkable --save ``` **browser (CDN):** - [jsDeliver CDN](http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!remarkable "jsDelivr CDN") - [cdnjs](https://cdnjs.com/libraries/remarkable "cdnjs") ## Usage ```js import { Remarkable } from 'remarkable'; var md = new Remarkable(); console.log(md.render('# Remarkable rulezz!')); // =>

Remarkable rulezz!

``` or with commonjs ```js const { Remarkable } = require('remarkable'); var md = new Remarkable(); console.log(md.render('# Remarkable rulezz!')); // =>

Remarkable rulezz!

``` If installed globally with `npm`: ```sh cat myfile.md | remarkable remarkable --file myfile.md # get options remarkable -h ``` ## Documentation See the [docs](docs/) directory for documentation on the following topics: - [parser](docs/parser.md) - [parsing_block](docs/parsing_block.md) - [parsing_core](docs/parsing_core.md) - [parsing_inline](docs/parsing_inline.md) - [plugins](docs/plugins.md) - [renderer](docs/renderer.md) ### Options By default, remarkable is configured to be similar to GFM, but with HTML disabled. This is easy to change if you prefer different settings. There are two ways to define options. #### constructor Define options in the constructor: ```js // Actual default values var md = new Remarkable({ html: false, // Enable HTML tags in source xhtmlOut: false, // Use '/' to close single tags (
) breaks: false, // Convert '\n' in paragraphs into
langPrefix: 'language-', // CSS language prefix for fenced blocks // Enable some language-neutral replacement + quotes beautification typographer: false, // Double + single quotes replacement pairs, when typographer enabled, // and smartquotes on. Set doubles to '«»' for Russian, '„“' for German. quotes: '“”‘’', // Highlighter function. Should return escaped HTML, // or '' if the source string is not changed highlight: function (/*str, lang*/) { return ''; } }); console.log(md.render('# Remarkable rulezz!')); // =>

Remarkable rulezz!

``` #### .set Or define options via the `.set()` method: ```js import { Remarkable } from 'remarkable'; var md = new Remarkable(); md.set({ html: true, breaks: true }); ``` **Note:** To achieve the best possible performance, don't modify a `Remarkable` instance on the fly. If you need multiple configurations, create multiple instances and initialize each with a configuration that is ideal for that instance. ### Presets Remarkable offers some "presets" as a convenience to quickly enable/disable active syntax rules and options for common use cases. #### commonmark Enable strict [CommonMark](http://commonmark.org/) mode with the `commonmark` preset: ```js import { Remarkable } from 'remarkable'; var md = new Remarkable('commonmark'); ``` #### full Enable all available rules (but still with default options, if not set): ```js import { Remarkable } from 'remarkable'; var md = new Remarkable('full'); // Or with options: var md = new Remarkable('full', { html: true, typographer: true }); ``` ### Syntax highlighting Apply syntax highlighting to fenced code blocks with the `highlight` option: ```js import { Remarkable } from 'remarkable'; import hljs from 'highlight.js' // https://highlightjs.org/ // Actual default values var md = new Remarkable({ highlight: function (str, lang) { if (lang && hljs.getLanguage(lang)) { try { return hljs.highlight(lang, str).value; } catch (err) {} } try { return hljs.highlightAuto(str).value; } catch (err) {} return ''; // use external default escaping } }); ``` ### Syntax extensions Enabled by default: - [Footnotes](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#footnotes) - [Tables](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/#tables) (GFM) - [\](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown/#strikethrough) (GFM strikethrough) - `~~deleted text~~` Disabled by default: - [\^{](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#superscripts-and-subscripts) - `19^th^`
- [\_{](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/README.html#superscripts-and-subscripts) - `H~2~O`
- [abbreviations](https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/#abbr)
- __\__ - `++inserted text++` (experimental)
- __\__ - `==marked text==` (experimental)

**HEADS UP!**: Experimental extensions can be changed later for something like [Critic Markup](http://criticmarkup.com/), but you will still be able to use old-style rules via external plugins if you prefer.

### Manage rules

```js
var md = new Remarkable();
md.inline.ruler.enable([ 'ins', 'mark' ]);
md.block.ruler.disable([ 'table', 'footnote' ]);

// Enable everything
md = new Remarkable('full', {
html: true,
typographer: true,
});

//
// Manually enable rules, disabled by default:
//
var md = new Remarkable();
md.core.ruler.enable([
'abbr'
]);
md.block.ruler.enable([
'footnote',
'deflist'
]);
md.inline.ruler.enable([
'footnote_inline',
'ins',
'mark',
'sub',
'sup'
]);
```

### Typographer

Although full-weight typographical replacements are language specific, `remarkable`
provides coverage for the most common and universal use cases:

```js
import { Remarkable } from 'remarkable';
var md = new Remarkable({
typographer: true,
quotes: '“”‘’'
});

// Disable rules at all:
md.core.ruler.disable([ 'replacements', 'smartquotes' ]);

// Actual default replacements:
//
// '' → ‘’
// "" → “”. Set '«»' for Russian, '„“' for German, empty to disable
// (c) (C) → ©
// (tm) (TM) → ™
// (r) (R) → ®
// +- → ±
// (p) (P) -> §
// ... → … (also ?.... → ?.., !.... → !..)
// ???????? → ???, !!!!! → !!!, `,,` → `,`
// -- → –, --- → —
//
```

Of course, you can also add your own rules or replace the defaults with something
more advanced or specific to your language.

### Plugins

Easily load plugins with the `.use()` method:

```js
var md = new Remarkable();

md.use(plugin1)
.use(plugin2, opts)
.use(plugin3);
```

Please refer to the [plugin documentation](docs/plugins.md) to create your own
plugins.

### linkify plugin

Autoconvert URL-like text to links

```js
import { Remarkable } from 'remarkable';
import { linkify } from 'remarkable/linkify';

var md = new Remarkable().use(linkify);
```

### UMD

UMD bundle provides linkify out of the box

```js
const { Remarkable, linkify, utils } = window.remarkable;
```

## References / Thanks

Big thanks to [John MacFarlane](https://github.com/jgm) for his work on the
CommonMark spec and reference implementations. His work saved us a lot of time
during this project's development.

**Related Links:**

1. https://github.com/jgm/CommonMark - reference CommonMark implementations in C & JS,
also contains latest spec & online demo.
2. http://talk.commonmark.org - CommonMark forum, good place to collaborate
developers' efforts.

## Development / Modification

[Parser](docs/parser.md) consists of several responsibility chains filled with
rules. You can reconfigure any of them as you wish. [Renderer](docs/renderer.md) also
can be modified and extended. See source code to understand details. Pay
attention to these properties:

```js
Remarkable.core
Remarkable.core.ruler
Remarkable.block
Remarkable.block.ruler
Remarkable.inline
Remarkable.inline.ruler
Remarkable.renderer
Remarkable.renderer.rules
```

## Benchmark

Here is result of CommonMark spec parse at Core i5 2.4 GHz (i5-4258U):

```bash
$ benchmark/benchmark.js spec
Selected samples: (1 of 27)
> spec

Sample: spec.txt (110610 bytes)
> commonmark-reference x 40.42 ops/sec ±4.07% (51 runs sampled)
> current x 74.99 ops/sec ±4.69% (67 runs sampled)
> current-commonmark x 93.76 ops/sec ±1.23% (79 runs sampled)
> marked-0.3.2 x 22.92 ops/sec ±0.79% (41 runs sampled)
```

As you can see, `remarkable` doesn't pay with speed for its flexibility. Because
it's written in monomorphic style and uses JIT inline caches effectively.
