Installation

v1+ @latest: All new features and may include breaking changes.

Important

🚧 markdown-exit v1 is currently in public beta (v1.0.0-beta.*).
Breaking changes may occur until a stable v1.0.0 is released.

npm i markdown-exit

v0.x @legacy

Full compatibility with markdown-it usage while adding TypeScript support, bug fixes and performance improvements. (v0 branch)

npm i markdown-exit@legacy

Usage

import { createMarkdownExit } from 'markdown-exit'

// factory helper
const md = createMarkdownExit()
const html = md.render('# markdown-exit')

import { MarkdownExit } from 'markdown-exit'

// with the `new` keyword
const md = new MarkdownExit()
const html = md.render('# markdown-exit')

Default import

[!NOTE] Default export (with callable constructor support) is retained for markdown-it compatibility, but it may have drawbacks in module interop and tree-shaking.

import MarkdownExit from 'markdown-exit'

// callable function
const md = MarkdownExit()
md.render('# markdown-exit')

// with the `new` keyword
const md = new MarkdownExit()
md.render('# markdown-exit')
