[Architecture description](md/architecture) +2. [Security considerations](md/security) +3. [API documentation](api/markdown_it) + +## Development guidance + +Details of the port can be found in the `markdown_it/port.yaml` and in `port.yaml` files, within the extension folders. + +## Code Style + +Code style is tested using [flake8](http://flake8.pycqa.org), with the configuration set in `.flake8`, and code formatted with [black](https://github.com/ambv/black). + +Installing with `markdown-it-py[code_style]` makes the [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) package available, which will ensure this style is met before commits are submitted, by reformatting the code and testing for lint errors. +It can be setup by: + +```shell +>> cd markdown-it-py +>> pre-commit install +``` + +Editors like VS Code also have automatic code reformat utilities, which can adhere to this standard. + +All functions and class methods should be annotated with types and include a docstring. + +## Testing + +For code tests, markdown-it-py uses [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org)): + +```shell +>> cd markdown-it-py +>> pytest +``` + +You can also use [tox](https://tox.readthedocs.io), to run the tests in multiple isolated environments (see the `tox.ini` file for available test environments): + +```shell +>> cd markdown-it-py +>> tox -p +``` + +This can also be used to run benchmarking tests using [pytest-benchmark](https://pytest-benchmark.readthedocs.io): + +```shell +>> cd markdown-it-py +tox -e py38-bench-packages -- --benchmark-min-rounds 50 +``` + +For documentation build tests: + +```shell +>> cd markdown-it-py/docs +>> make clean +>> make html-strict +``` + +## Contributing a plugin + +1. Does it already exist as JavaScript implementation ([see npm](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=keywords:markdown-it-plugin))? + Where possible try to port directly from that. + It is usually better to modify existing code, instead of writing all from scratch. +2. Try to find the right place for your plugin rule: + - Will it conflict with existing markup (by priority)? + - If yes - you need to write an inline or block rule. + - If no - you can morph tokens within core chains. + - Remember that token morphing in core chains is always more simple than writing + block or inline rules, if you don't copy existing ones. However, + block and inline rules are usually faster. + - Sometimes, it's enough to only modify the renderer, for example, to add + header IDs or `target="_blank"` for the links. + +## FAQ + +### I need async rule, how to do it? + +Sorry. You can't do it directly. All complex parsers are sync by nature. But you +can use workarounds: + +1. On parse phase, replace content by random number and store it in `env`. +2. Do async processing over collected data. +3. Render content and replace those random numbers with text; or replace first, then render. + +Alternatively, you can render HTML, then parse it to DOM, or +[cheerio](https://github.com/cheeriojs/cheerio) AST, and apply transformations +in a more convenient way. + +### How to replace part of text token with link? + +The right sequence is to split text to several tokens and add link tokens in between. +The result will be: `text` + `link_open` + `text` + `link_close` + `text`. + +See implementations of [linkify](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it/blob/master/lib/rules_core/linkify.js) and [emoji](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it-emoji/blob/master/lib/replace.js) - those do text token splits. + +__Note:__ Don't try to replace text with HTML markup! That's not secure. + +### Why is my inline rule not executed? + +The inline parser skips pieces of texts to optimize speed. It stops only on [a small set of chars](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it/blob/master/lib/rules_inline/text.js), which can be tokens. We did not made this list extensible for performance reasons too. + +If you are absolutely sure that something important is missing there - create a +ticket and we will consider adding it as a new charcode. |
