Earmark is a pure-Elixir Markdown converter. It is intended to be used as a library (just call Earmark.as_html), but can also be used as a command-line tool (run mix escript.build first). Output generation is pluggable.
Retired package: Deprecated - Earmark is no longer maintained. Migrate to a replacement, for example MDEx (https://hex.pm/packages/mdex).
Security advisory:
This version has known vulnerabilities.

## Earmark
### Abstract Syntax Tree and Rendering
The AST generation has now been moved out to [`Earmark.Parser`](https://github.com/robertdober/earmark_parser)
which is installed as a dependency.
This brings some changes to this documentation and also deprecates the usage of `Earmark.as_ast`
Earmark takes care of rendering the AST to HTML, exposing some AST Transformation Tools and providing a CLI as escript.
Therefore you will not find a detailed description of the supported Markdown here anymore as this is done in
[here](https://hexdocs.pm/earmark_parser/Earmark.Parser.html)
#### Earmark.as_ast
WARNING: This is just a proxy towards `Earmark.Parser.as_ast` and is deprecated, it will be removed in version 1.5!
Replace your calls to `Earmark.as_ast` with `EarmarkParse.as_ast` as soon as possible.
**N.B.** If all you use is `Earmark.as_ast` consider _only_ using `Earmark.Parser`.
Also please refer yourself to the documentation of [`Earmark.Parser`](https://hexdocs.pm/earmark_parser/Earmark.Parser.html)
The function is described below and the other two API functions `as_html` and `as_html!` are now based upon
the structure of the result of `as_ast`.
{:ok, ast, []} = Earmark.Parser.as_ast(markdown)
{:ok, ast, deprecation_messages} = Earmark.Parser.as_ast(markdown)
{:error, ast, error_messages} = Earmark.Parser.as_ast(markdown)
#### Earmark.as_html
{:ok, html_doc, []} = Earmark.as_html(markdown)
{:ok, html_doc, deprecation_messages} = Earmark.as_html(markdown)
{:error, html_doc, error_messages} = Earmark.as_html(markdown)
#### Earmark.as_html!
html_doc = Earmark.as_html!(markdown, options)
Formats the error_messages returned by `as_html` and adds the filename to each.
Then prints them to stderr and just returns the html_doc
#### Options
Options can be passed into as `as_html/2` or `as_html!/2` according to the documentation.
A keyword list with legal options (c.f. `Earmark.Options`) or an `Earmark.Options` struct are accepted.
{status, html_doc, errors} = Earmark.as_html(markdown, options)
html_doc = Earmark.as_html!(markdown, options)
{status, ast, errors} = Earmark.Parser.as_ast(markdown, options)
### Rendering
All options passed through to `Earmark.Parser.as_ast` are defined therein, however some options concern only
the rendering of the returned AST
These are:
* `compact_output:` defaults to `false`
Normally `Earmark` aims to produce _Human Readable_ output.
This will give results like these:
iex(1)> markdown = "# Hello\\nWorld"
...(1)> Earmark.as_html!(markdown, compact_output: false)
"<h1>\\nHello</h1>\\n<p>\\nWorld</p>\\n"
But sometimes whitespace is not desired:
iex(2)> markdown = "# Hello\\nWorld"
...(2)> Earmark.as_html!(markdown, compact_output: true)
"<h1>Hello</h1><p>World</p>"
Be cautions though when using this options, lines will become loooooong.
#### `escape:` defaulting to `true`
If set HTML will be properly escaped
iex(3)> markdown = "Hello<br>World"
...(3)> Earmark.as_html!(markdown)
"<p>\\nHello<br>World</p>\\n"
However disabling `escape:` gives you maximum control of the created document, which in some
cases (e.g. inside tables) might even be necessary
iex(4)> markdown = "Hello<br>World"
...(4)> Earmark.as_html!(markdown, escape: false)
"<p>\\nHello<br>World</p>\\n"
#### `inner_html:` defaulting to `false`
This is especially useful inside templates, when a block element will disturb the layout as
in this case
```html
<span><%= Earmark.as_html!(....)%></span>
<span><%= Earmark.as_html!(....)%></span>
```
By means of the `inner_html` option the disturbing paragraph can be removed from `as_html!`'s
output
iex(5)> markdown = "Hello<br>World"
...(5)> Earmark.as_html!(markdown, escape: false, inner_html: true)
"Hello<br>World\\n"
**N.B.** that this applies only to top level paragraphs, as can be seen here
iex(6)> markdown = "- Item\\n\\nPara"
...(6)> Earmark.as_html!(markdown, inner_html: true)
"<ul>\\n <li>\\nItem </li>\\n</ul>\\nPara\\n"
* `postprocessor:` defaults to nil
Before rendering, the AST is transformed by a postprocessor.
For details, see the description of `Earmark.Transform.map_ast` below which will accept the same postprocessor.
As a matter of fact, specifying `postprocessor: fun` is conceptually the same as
```elixir
markdown
|> Earmark.Parser.as_ast
|> Earmark.Transform.map_ast(fun)
|> Earmark.Transform.transform
```
with all the necessary bookkeeping for options and messages
* `renderer:` defaults to `Earmark.HtmlRenderer`
The module used to render the final document.
#### `smartypants:` defaulting to `true`
If set the following replacements will be made during rendering of inline text
"---" → "—"
"--" → "–"
"' → "’"
?" → "”"
"..." → "…"
### Command line
```sh
$ mix escript.build
$ ./earmark file.md
```
Some options defined in the `Earmark.Options` struct can be specified as command line switches.
Use
```sh
$ ./earmark --help
```
to find out more, but here is a short example
```sh
$ ./earmark --smartypants false --code-class-prefix "a- b-" file.md
```
will call
```sh
Earmark.as_html!( ..., %Earmark.Options{smartypants: false, code_class_prefix: "a- b-"})
```
### Timeouts
By default, that is if the `timeout` option is not set Earmark uses parallel mapping as implemented in `Earmark.pmap/2`,
which uses `Task.await` with its default timeout of 5000ms.
In rare cases that might not be enough.
By indicating a longer `timeout` option in milliseconds Earmark will use parallel mapping as implemented in `Earmark.pmap/3`,
which will pass `timeout` to `Task.await`.
In both cases one can override the mapper function with either the `mapper` option (used if and only if `timeout` is nil) or the
`mapper_with_timeout` function (used otherwise).
For the escript only the `timeout` command line argument can be used.
### Security
Please be aware that Markdown is not a secure format. It produces
HTML from Markdown and HTML. It is your job to sanitize and or
filter the output of `Earmark.as_html` if you cannot trust the input
and are to serve the produced HTML on the Web.
