Markdown parser implemented in Prolog. Compatible with SWI-Prolog as the output tree is for direct use by html//1. The specification for the parser was taken from http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax (Gruber's Markdown).
Parse into a structure usable by html//1.
:- use_module(library(md/md_parse)).
?- md_parse_string("# Hello #", Blocks).
Blocks = [h1("Hello")].
Convert into an HTML string:
:- use_module(library(md/md_parse)).
?- md_html_string("# Hello #", Html).
Html = "<h1>Hello</h1>".
- Some cases for tight markup (no separate lines between blocks).
- No clever encoding for mail addresses.
- Line break rule creates
<br>
not<br />
. - No in-word emphasis with underscores.
- Strikethrough as
~~text~~
. - Added escape sequences
\~
and\`
. - Github-styled fenced code blocks (https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown).
No syntax highlighting is provided but the
data-language
attribute is set. - Plain link recognizion.
Example document (about 800 lines) is parsed in 80ms on 2.4GHz Q6600.
Requires SWI-Prolog 7.x.
