Parsing Markdown

To parse a Markdown document, use the parseMarkdown function:

import {parseMarkdown} from 'markdown-model/lib/parser.js';

const markdownModel = parseMarkdown(markdownText);

Note: Markdown documents are parsed as GitHub Flavored Markdown (with the exception of HTML blocks).

Rendering Markdown

To render the parsed Markdown in a web browser, use the markdownElements function with the renderElements function from the element-model package:

import {markdownElements} from 'markdown-model/lib/elements.js';
import {renderElements} from 'element-model/lib/elementModel.js';

renderElements(document.body, markdownElements(markdownModel));

Computing the Markdown Title

To compute the title of the parsed Markdown, use the getMarkdownTitle function:

import {getMarkdownTitle} from 'markdown-model/lib/parser.js';

const markdownTitle = getMarkdownTitle(markdownModel);
