Pandex

Pandex is a lightweight Elixir wrapper for Pandoc. It has no dependencies other than Pandoc itself. Pandex unit tests are currently run again Pandoc version 2.5.

Pandex enables you to perform any combination of the conversions below:

* Deprecated: markdown_github. Use gfm instead.

Installation

1. Pandex requires Pandoc to work. Install Pandoc for your operating system.

2. Add Pandex to mix.exs as follows:

defmodule YourApp.Mixfile do
  defp deps do
    [
      {:pandex, "~> 0.2.0"}
    ]
  end
end

3. Run mix deps.get to install Pandex.

Usage

Pandex follows the syntax of <format-from>_to_<format-to>(<string>).

Examples

iex> Pandex.gfm_to_html("# Title \n\n## List\n\n- one\n- two\n- three\n")
{:ok, "<h1 id=\"title\">Title</h1>\n<h2 id=\"list\">List</h2>\n<ul>\n<li>one</li>\n<li>two</li>\n<li>three</li>\n</ul>\n"}

iex> Pandex.latex_to_html5("\\section{Title}\n\n\\subsection{List}\n\n\\begin{itemize}\n\\tightlist\n\\item\n  one\n\\item\n  two\n\\item\n  three\n\\end{itemize}\n")
{:ok, "<h1 id=\"title\">Title</h1>\n<h2 id=\"list\">List</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><p>one</p></li>\n<li><p>two</p></li>\n<li><p>three</p></li>\n</ul>\n"}

iex> Pandex.latex_to_json("\\section{Title}\\label{title}\n\n\\subsection{List}\\label{list}\n\n\\begin{itemize}\n\\item\n  one\n\\item\n  two\n\\item\n  three\n\\end{itemize}\n")
{:ok, "{\"blocks\":[{\"t\":\"Header\",\"c\":[1,[\"title\",[],[]],[{\"t\":\"Str\",\"c\":\"Title\"}]]},{\"t\":\"Header\",\"c\":[2,[\"list\",[],[]],[{\"t\":\"Str\",\"c\":\"List\"}]]},{\"t\":\"BulletList\",\"c\":[[{\"t\":\"Para\",\"c\":[{\"t\":\"Str\",\"c\":\"one\"}]}],[{\"t\":\"Para\",\"c\":[{\"t\":\"Str\",\"c\":\"two\"}]}],[{\"t\":\"Para\",\"c\":[{\"t\":\"Str\",\"c\":\"three\"}]}]]}],\"pandoc-api-version\":[1,17,5,4],\"meta\":{}}\n"}

Using with your app

defmodule YourApp do
  import Pandex

  def convert(string)  do
    {:ok, output} = markdown_to_html(string)
    IO.puts(output)
  end
end

You can also give a file as an input. The output will however be a string.

defmodule YourApp do
  import Pandex

  def convert(file)  do
    {:ok, output} = markdown_file_to_html(file)
    IO.puts(output)
  end
end
