Erlmark

Markdown to HTML for Elixir, powered by erlmark: a pure Erlang CommonMark 0.31.2 converter with GFM tables, strikethrough and task lists. No NIFs, no system dependencies, and faster than the Rust-based MDEx NIF on most documents.

Installation

def deps do
  [
    {:erlmark_ex, "~> 0.1"}
  ]
end

Usage

Erlmark.to_html("# Hello *world*")
#=> "<h1>Hello <em>world</em></h1>\n"

Options are a keyword list:

# Opt-in GFM autolinks and the tagfilter.
Erlmark.to_html("see www.example.com", extensions: [:autolink, :tagfilter])

# Convert a large document on all schedulers. The output is identical.
Erlmark.to_html(big_markdown, parallel: :auto)

Option	Default	Effect
`:extensions`	`[]`	`:autolink` links bare URLs and e-mail addresses; `:tagfilter` escapes `<script>`, `<style>` and similar tags.
`:parallel`	`false`	`:auto` or a scheduler count. Splits large documents (16 KB and up).
`:spawn_above`	`256`	Inputs above this many bytes are converted in a short-lived process with a pre-sized heap. `:infinity` never spawns.

Raw HTML in the input is passed through unchanged, as CommonMark requires. Sanitise the output if the input is untrusted.

Development

This package lives in the elixir/ directory of the erlmark repository. To build against the sibling Erlang sources instead of the Hex release:
