beldown

Create dom nodes from markdown inside tagged template strings using bel & marked.

Install

npm install --save beldown

Why

Because maybe you're working with yo-yo or choo and want a way to easily turn markdown into dom nodes they can use.

Example

var md = require('beldown')
 
var html = md`
  # hi
 
  this is markdown
`
 
console.log(html.toString())

This returns:

<div>
<h1 id="hi">hi</h1>
<p>this is markdown</p>
</div>

Passing options to marked

var md = require('beldown')
 
md.setOptions({
  gfm: false
})
 
var html = md`~~Github flavored markdown is off~~`
console.log(html.toString())

This returns:

<div>
<p>~~Github flavored markdown is off~~</p>
</div>

Caveats:

The wrapping div is required because multiple root elements must be wrapped in an enclosing tag. I'm not sure if there's a great way around that.

Leading whitespace of each line is currently stripped. Maybe there's a case where that breaks things?
