# Markdown-It-Py Plugin Extensions

## Built-in

The following plugins are embedded within the core package:

- [tables](https://help.github.com/articles/organizing-information-with-tables/) (GFM)
- [strikethrough](https://help.github.com/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#styling-text) (GFM)

These can be enabled individually:

```python
from markdown_it import MarkdownIt
md = MarkdownIt("commonmark").enable('table')
```

or as part of a configuration:

```python
from markdown_it import MarkdownIt
md = MarkdownIt("gfm-like")
```

```{seealso}
See [](markdown_it:using)
```

## mdit-py-plugins package

The [`mdit_py_plugins`](https://github.com/executablebooks/mdit-py-plugins), contains a number of common plugins.
They can be chained and loaded *via*:

```python
from markdown_it import MarkdownIt
from mdit_py_plugins import plugin1, plugin2
md = MarkdownIt().use(plugin1, keyword=value).use(plugin2, keyword=value)
html_string = md.render("some *Markdown*")
```

Use the `mdit_py_plugins` as a guide to write your own, following the [markdown-it design principles](markdown_it:architecture).

There are many other plugins which could easily be ported from the JS versions (and hopefully will):
