EzMarkdownParser

EzMarkdownParser is a very simple Python package that converts Markdown text to HTML strings with its htmlify function. It is designed to handle basic Markdown elements such as paragraphs, headings, list items, bold text, and links.

This parser was made for cs50w project #1 Wiki on 2024, so it only supports the tags required by the project specifications, wich are mentioned above.

pip install ez-markdown-parser

Usage

from ez_markdown_parser import EzMarkdownParser

md_text = """
# Heading 1
This is a paragraph with some **bold text** and a [link](https://example.com).

## Heading 2
- List item 1
- List item 2
"""

parser = EzMarkdownParser()
html_text = parser.htmlify(md_text)
print(html_text)
