class RDoc::Markdown
RDoc::Markdown as described by the markdown syntax.
To choose Markdown as your only default format
see Saved Options at
RDoc::Options for instructions on setting up a
.doc_options
file to store your project default.
Usage¶ ↑
Here is a brief example of using this parse to read a markdown file by hand.
data = File.read("README.md") formatter = RDoc::Markup::ToHtml.new(RDoc::Options.new, nil) html = RDoc::Markdown.parse(data).accept(@formatter) # do something with html
Extensions¶ ↑
The following markdown extensions are supported by the parser, but not all are used in RDoc output by default.
RDoc¶ ↑
The RDoc Markdown parser has the following built-in behaviors that cannot be disabled.
Underscores embedded in words are never interpreted as emphasis. (While the markdown dingus emphasizes in-word underscores, neither the Markdown syntax nor MarkdownTest mention this behavior.)
For HTML output, RDoc always auto-links bare URLs.
Break on Newline¶ ↑
The #break_on_newline extension converts all newlines into hard line breaks as in Github Flavored Markdown. This extension is disabled by default.
CSS¶ ↑
The css extension enables CSS blocks to be included in the output, but they are not used for any built-in RDoc output format. This extension is disabled by default.
Example:
<style type="text/css"> h1 { font-size: 3em } </style>
Definition Lists¶ ↑
The #definition_lists extension allows definition lists using the PHP Markdown Extra syntax, but only one label and definition are supported at this time. This extension is enabled by default.
Example:
cat : A small furry mammal that seems to sleep a lot ant : A little insect that is known to enjoy picnics
Produces:
- cat
-
A small furry mammal that seems to sleep a lot
- ant
-
A little insect that is known to enjoy picnics
Github¶ ↑
The github extension enables a partial set of Github Flavored Markdown. This extension is enabled by default.
Supported github extensions include:
Fenced code blocks¶ ↑
Use ```
around a block of code instead of indenting it four
spaces.
Syntax highlighting¶ ↑
Use ``` ruby
as the start of a code fence to add syntax
highlighting. (Currently only ruby
syntax is supported).
HTML¶ ↑
Enables raw HTML to be included in the output. This extension is enabled by default.
Example:
<table> ... </table>
Notes¶ ↑
The notes extension enables footnote support. This extension is enabled by default.
Example:
Here is some text[^1] including an inline footnote ^[for short footnotes] ... [^1]: With the footnote text down at the bottom
Produces:
Here is some text1 including an inline footnote 2
Limitations¶ ↑
-
Link titles are not used
-
Footnotes are collapsed into a single paragraph

Public Class Methods
Creates a new markdown parser that enables the given
extensions
.
# File lib/rdoc/markdown.rb, line 619 def initialize extensions = DEFAULT_EXTENSIONS, debug = false @debug = debug @formatter = RDoc::Markup::ToJoinedParagraph.new @extensions = extensions @references = nil @unlinked_references = nil @footnotes = nil @note_order = nil end
Parses the markdown
document into an RDoc::Document using the
default extensions.
# File lib/rdoc/markdown.rb, line 607 def self.parse markdown parser = new parser.parse markdown end
Public Instance Methods
Wraps text
in emphasis for rdoc inline formatting
# File lib/rdoc/markdown.rb, line 634 def emphasis text if text =~ /\A[a-z\d.\/]+\z/i then "_#{text}_" else "<em>#{text}</em>" end end
Finds a link reference for label
and creates a new link to it
with content
as the link text. If label
was not
encountered in the reference-gathering parser pass the label and content
are reconstructed with the linking text
(usually whitespace).
# File lib/rdoc/markdown.rb, line 688 def link_to content, label = content, text = nil raise 'enable notes extension' if content.start_with? '^' and label.equal? content if ref = @references[label] then "{#{content}}[#{ref}]" elsif label.equal? content then "[#{content}]#{text}" else "[#{content}]#{text}[#{label}]" end end
Creates an RDoc::Markup::ListItem by
parsing the unparsed
content from the first parsing pass.
# File lib/rdoc/markdown.rb, line 705 def list_item_from unparsed parsed = inner_parse unparsed.join RDoc::Markup::ListItem.new nil, *parsed end
Stores label
as a note and fills in previously unknown note
references.
# File lib/rdoc/markdown.rb, line 713 def note label #foottext = "rdoc-label:foottext-#{label}:footmark-#{label}" #ref.replace foottext if ref = @unlinked_notes.delete(label) @notes[label] = foottext #"{^1}[rdoc-label:footmark-#{label}:foottext-#{label}] " end
Creates a new link for the footnote reference
and adds the
reference to the note order list for proper display at the end of the
document.
# File lib/rdoc/markdown.rb, line 727 def note_for ref @note_order << ref label = @note_order.length "{*#{label}}[rdoc-label:foottext-#{label}:footmark-#{label}]" end
TODO remove when kpeg 0.10 is released
Creates an RDoc::Markup::Paragraph from
parts
and including extension-specific behavior
# File lib/rdoc/markdown.rb, line 744 def paragraph parts parts = parts.map do |part| if "\n" == part then RDoc::Markup::HardBreak.new else part end end if break_on_newline? RDoc::Markup::Paragraph.new(*parts) end
Parses markdown
into an RDoc::Document
# File lib/rdoc/markdown.rb, line 759 def parse markdown @references = {} @unlinked_references = {} markdown += "\n\n" setup_parser markdown, @debug peg_parse 'References' if notes? then @footnotes = {} setup_parser markdown, @debug peg_parse 'Notes' # using note_order on the first pass would be a bug @note_order = [] end setup_parser markdown, @debug peg_parse doc = result if notes? and not @footnotes.empty? then doc << RDoc::Markup::Rule.new(1) @note_order.each_with_index do |ref, index| label = index + 1 note = @footnotes[ref] link = "{^#{label}}[rdoc-label:footmark-#{label}:foottext-#{label}] " note.parts.unshift link doc << note end end doc.accept @formatter doc end
Stores label
as a reference to link
and fills in
previously unknown link references.
# File lib/rdoc/markdown.rb, line 806 def reference label, link if ref = @unlinked_references.delete(label) then ref.replace link end @references[label] = link end
Wraps text
in strong markup for rdoc inline formatting
# File lib/rdoc/markdown.rb, line 817 def strong text if text =~ /\A[a-z\d.\/-]+\z/i then "*#{text}*" else "<b>#{text}</b>" end end
Extensions

disable the extension and to query if they are active.
