@all A question, using showdown in angular-cli built angular2 project, using systemjs as module loader, tried es2015 module syntax, import Showdown from 'showdown' Showdown is undefinied. Does showodown support ES6 import format?

@heatmonkey

if I use Uglify or Dedupe on WebPack, showdown dies.

It works until I do that

I think -- import * as Showdown from 'showdown' -- should work

@heatmonkey

When I uglify or optimize at all, I get a runtime error: Template parse errors:
Unexpected closing tag "a" (" using Markdown, see the <a href=http://commonmark.org/help/ target=_blank>Common Markdown Reference[ERROR ->]</a> </p> </div> </div>"

Hi everybody !

I'm trying to load the twitter extension (I suppose it's for twitter-bootstrap) but I failed. I have downloaded the js and put it in my folder extension.

 <script src="extensions/twitter.js"></script>
[...] // HTML  and the beginning of the second script tag
var converter = new showdown.Converter({'tables' : true, 'ghCodeBlocks' : true, extensions : 'twitter' });

I think I can load this extensions with the options at the same time. But I have the following response error: Uncaught Error: Extension "t" could not be loaded. It was either not found or is not a valid extension.(…). So I have tried the version server side (where extensions key takes an array) but I have this error: showdown.js:799Uncaught Error: Extension "twitter" could not be loaded. It was either not found or is not a valid extension.

Can someone help me, please ? :)
Thank you in advance ^^

That's a strange error

@tivie

extensions should always be an array

var converter = new showdown.Converter({'tables' : true, 'ghCodeBlocks' : true, extensions : ['twitter'] });

The npm page doc, for the client side, is wrong in that case: https://www.npmjs.com/package/showdown

When I use this:

var converter = new showdown.Converter({'tables' : true, 'ghCodeBlocks' : true, extensions : ['twitter'] });

I have this error Uncaught Error: Extension "twitter" could not be loaded. It was either not found or is not a valid extension.

@tivie

are you importing the extension in your html file?

https://github.com/showdownjs/twitter-extension

the twitter extension should be loaded after showdown

something like this

<script src="showdown.min.js"></script>
<script src="showdown-twitter.min.js"></script>
<script>
var converter = new showdown.Converter({'tables' : true, 'ghCodeBlocks' : true, extensions : ['twitter'] });
</script>

Hi, just thought I'd mention the demo page http://showdownjs.github.io/demo/ is currently broken.

Hey I wanted to confirm showdown's appropriate for my use case before digging in

I want to write documentation in markdown but transform the output in a certain way

For example, ## Header 2 by default converts to <h2>Header 2</h2>

I want it to convert to

<h2 class="anchor">Header 2 <a class="anchor-link" title="permalink to section" href="#header2"
                               name="header2">&para;</a></h2>

showdown with a custom output extension seems to able to do this from its description

Is this true? And if so are there any documentation on writing output extensions? (the wiki only has a language extension example)

Estevão Soares dos Santos

@tivie

@LemonPi Yes, you can customize headings (or any other HTML tag for that matter) with extensions.

Output extension would work work. A listener extension might be more appropriate for the heading specific case, though.

@tivie

for version 2.0-alpha

showdown.extension('foo', function () {
  return [{
    type: 'listener',
    listeners: {
      'makehtml.headers.before': function (event, text) {
        // do something
        return text;
      }
    }
  }]
});

Thanks for the response. Everything's been working great with output extensions (and language extensions)! Showdown's really great :D
