-<a name="Summary"></a>
-<h3 class="title">Summary</h3>
-
-This is a Python implementation of John Gruber's
-[Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/).
-The current version of python-markdown implements all Markdown syntax
-features and fully passes [Markdown Test Suite
-1.0](http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/2004-December/000909.html). It also supports footnotes (see [this
-thread](http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/2005-August/001480.html))
-and attributes (see [this
-thread](http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/2005-August/001486.html)). Python-Markdown defaults to ignoring middle-word emphasis through
-underscore, but this it can be switched off. (See [this
-thread](http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/2005-October/001610.html)
-for discussion.)
-
-If you find something missing, [submit a bug report](http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=153041&atid=790198) or send me an email (qaramazov-at-gmail.com). Better yet, send me a patch.
-
-<a name="Installation"></a>
-<h3 class="title">Installation</h3>
-
-[Download](http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=153041)
-the zip file and extract the files. If you want to install markdown
-as as a module into your python tree, run "sudo python setup.py
-install" from a directory where you unzip the files. (You typically
-need to be root to install modules this way - hence use of "sudo". If
-you don't have root access, it probably doesn't make sense for you to
-"install" markdown this way - just put the markdown.py file somewhere
-and make sure that directory is in your path later.)
-
-<a name="Commandline"></a>
-<h3 class="title">Command Line Usage</h3>
-
-To use markdown.py by itself, run it as
-
- python markdown.py <input_file>
-
-or
-
- python markdown.py <input_file> > <output_file>
-
-If you are using Python 2.3 or higher, you can also use advanced
-command line options to specify encoding or to run extensions.
-
-
- $ python markdown.py
- usage: markdown.py INPUTFILE [options]
-
- options:
- -h, --help show this help message and exit
- -f OUTPUT_FILE, --file=OUTPUT_FILE
- write output to OUTPUT_FILE
- -e ENCODING, --encoding=ENCODING
- encoding for input and output files
- -q, --quiet suppress all messages
- -v, --verbose print info messages
- -s, --safe same mode (strip user's HTML tag)
- --noisy print debug messages
- -x EXTENSION, --extension=EXTENSION
- load extension EXTENSION
-
-For an extension to be ran this way it must be provided in a module
-named ``mdx_{extensionname}.py`` which should be in your python path,
-e.g. ``mdx_footnotes.py``. It can then be invoked as by name (the
-part after "mdx_"):
-
- python markdown.py -x footnotes text_with_footnotes.txt output.html
-
-If the extension supports config options (see below), you can also
-pass them in as well:
-
- python markdown.py -x "footnotes(PLACE_MARKER=~~~~~~~~)"
-
-<a name="Module"></a>
-<h3 class="title">Using the Module</h3>
-
-To use markdown as a module:
-
- import markdown
- html = markdown.markdown(your_text_string)
-
-Alternatively, if you want to pass more options:
-
- import markdown
- md = Markdown(text,
- extensions=['footnotes'],
- extension_configs= {'footnotes' :
- ('PLACE_MARKER','~~~~~~~~')}
- encoding='utf8',
- safe_mode = True)
-
- return md.toString()
-
-or, if you want to process multiple strings:
-
- md = Markdown(text=None)
- md.toString(text)
-
-Note that if you are using Markdown on a web system which will
-transform text provided by untrusted users, you may want to use
-"safe_mode=True" option (see above) which ensures that user's HTML tags are
-removed. (They can still create links using Markdown syntax.)
-
-<a name="Extending"></a>
-<h3 class="title">Writing Extensions</h3>
-
-The functionality of the script can be extended without changing the
-code, by inserting additional pre-processors, post-processors or
-inline patterns into Markdown's pipeline.
-
-**Pre-processors** operate on lines of source text and are run in the
-beginning. It is sufficient to write a class with a run() method that
-takes a list of text lines as a parameter and returns the same or a
-new list. An instance of the preprocessor can then be inserted into
-the markdown pipeline. Preprocessor classes must extend
-``markdown.Preprocessor``.
-
- class SamplePreprocessor (markdown.Preprocessor) :
- def run(self, lines) :
- for i in range(len(lines)) :
- if lines[i].startswith(SOMETHING) :
- lines[i] = do_something(lines[i])
-
- return lines
-
- md_instance.preprocessors.insert(SOME_INDEX, SamplePreprocessor())
-
-**Post-processors** operate on a NanoDom tree and run at the very end.
-They need to implement a "run" method that takes a pointer to a NanoDom
-document. Postprocessor classes must extend ``markdown.Postprocessor``.
-
- class SamplePostprocessor (markdown.Postprocessor):
- def run(self, doc) :
- doc.documentElement.appendChild(doc.createElement("new"))
-
-
- md_instance.postprocessors.insert(SOME_INDEX, SamplePostprocessor())
-
-Finally, **inline patterns** can be added. Each inline pattern
-includes a regular expression pattern and a method for turning a match
-object into a DOM fragment
-
- class MyCustomPattern (markdown.Pattern) :
- def handleMatch(self, m, doc) :
- el = doc.createElement('custom')
- el.setAttribute('stuff', m.group(3))
- return el
-
- new_pattern = MyCustomPattern(r'your regular expression here')
- md_instance.inlinePatterns.insert(SOME_INDEX, new_pattern)
-
-Preprocessors, patterns and postprocessors need to then be wrapped
-together into an extension, which should be implemented as a class
-that extends markdown.Extension and should over-ride the
-``extendMarkdown()`` method. ``extendMarkdown()`` is called during
-markdown construction, giving the extension a pointer to the markdown
-object (the ``md`` parameters) and markdown's global variables
-(``md_globals``), which in theory gives the extension an option of
-changing anything it cares to change. However, what it really should
-be doing is inserting preprocessors, postprocessors and patterns into
-the markdown pipeline:
-
-
- def extendMarkdown(self, md, md_globals) :
-
- self.md = md
-
- # Insert a preprocessor before ReferencePreprocessor
- index = md.preprocessors.index(md_globals['REFERENCE_PREPROCESSOR'])
- preprocessor = FootnotePreprocessor(self)
- preprocessor.md = md
- md.preprocessors.insert(index, preprocessor)
-
-
-If the extension uses any parameters that the use may want to change,
-they should be stored in self.config in the following format:
-
- self.config = {parameter_1_name : [value1, description1],
- parameter_2_name : [value2, description2] }
-
-When stored this way the config parameters can be over-riden from the
-command line or at the time Markdown is instantiated:
-
- markdown.py -x myextension(SOME_PARAM=2) inputfile.txt > output.txt
-
-Note that parameters should always be assumed to be set to string
-values, and should be converted at the run time, e.g.
-
- i += int(self.getConfig("SOME_PARAM"))
-
-Each extension should ideally be placed in its own module starting
-with ``mdx_`` prefix (e.g. ``mdx_footnotes.py``). The module must
-provide a module-level function called ``makeExtensions`` that takes
-as an optional parameter a list of configuration over-rides and
-returns an instance of the extension. E.g.:
-
- def makeExtension(configs=None) :
- return FootnoteExtension(configs=configs)
-
-See the implementation of footnote support distributed with the
-markdown script (mdx_footnotes.py) for an example of using all three
-in combination to provide reasonably complex additional functionality.
-(I use a pre-processor to collect footnote definitions, an inline
-pattern to handle uses of footnotes inside the text and a
-post-processor to attach the HTML of the actual footnotes at the end
-of the document) The RSS extension (mdx_rss.py, also included), which
-generates an RSS file from markdown source is a simpler extension but
-provides an example of extending markdown to generate arbitrary XML
-rather than HTML.
-
-
-Other extensions:
-
-* [Table-of-contents extension](extensions/mdx_toc.py) by Chris Clark
- (inserts a table of contents), upgraded by
- Yuri.
-
-* [Title extension](extensions/mdx_title.py) by Chris Clark (inserts a
- title element)
-
-* [WikiLinks](http://achinghead.com/archives/67/adding-wikilinks-to-markdown-in-python/)
- by Waylan Limberg (not yet upgraded)
-

-<a name="Django"></a>
-<h3 class="title">Using Markdown with Django</h3>
-
-Install markdown and make sure it is in your path.
-Include 'django.contrib.markup' in INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py.
-You will then need to load the markup module in a template:
-
- {% load markup %}
-
-After that, you should be able to use markdown filter in that template
-as follows by putting "|markdown" after a variable, e.g.:
-
- {{ post.body|markdown }}
-
-If you want to use markdown with extensions or want an option of
-disabling HTML (e.g., in comments) edit
-django/contrib/markup/templatetags/markup.py file in your django tree
-replacing the definition of markdown() function with the following:
-
- def markdown(value, arg=''):
-
- try:
- import markdown
- except ImportError:
- if settings.DEBUG:
- raise (template.TemplateSyntaxError,
- "Error in {% markdown %} filter: "
- + "The markdown library isn't installed.")
- else :
- from django.utils.html import escape, linebreaks
- return linebreaks(escape(value))
- else:
- extensions=arg.split(",")
- if len(extensions) > 0 and extensions[0] == "safe" :
- extensions = extensions[1:]
- safe_mode = True
- else :
- safe_mode = False
- return markdown.markdown(value, extensions, safe_mode=safe_mode)
-
-(This code snippet has been adapted from one proposed by [Waylan
-Limberg](http://achinghead.com/).)
-
-You should then be able to load extensions by listing them in quotes
-separated by comas:
-
- {{ post.body|markdown:"imagelinks,footnotes" }}
-
-If you want to disable HTML, include "safe" as the first argument:
-
- {{ post.body|markdown:"safe" }}
