We use this library on GitHub when rendering your README or any other
rich text file.
The following markups are supported. The dependencies listed are required if
you wish to run the library.
gem install redcarpet
(https://github.com/vmg/redcarpet)gem install RedCloth
gem install rdoc -v 3.6.1
gem install org-ruby
gem install creole
gem install wikicloth
easy_install docutils
brew install asciidoc
Pod::Simple::HTML
Want to contribute? Great! There are two ways to add markups.
If your markup is in a language other than Ruby, drop a translator
script in lib/github/commands
which accepts input on STDIN and
returns HTML on STDOUT. See rest2html for an example.
Once your script is in place, edit lib/github/markups.rb
and tell
GitHub Markup about it. Again we look to rest2html for
guidance:
command(:rest2html, /re?st(.txt)?/)
Here we're telling GitHub Markup of the existence of a rest2html
command which should be used for any file ending in rest
, rst
, rest.txt
or rst.txt
. Any regular expression will do.
Finally add your tests. Create a README.extension
in test/markups
along with a README.extension.html
. As you may imagine, the README.extension
should be your known input and the README.extension.html
should be the desired output.
Now run the tests: rake
If nothing complains, congratulations!
If your markup can be translated using a Ruby library, that's
great. Check out lib/github/markups.rb
for some
examples. Let's look at Markdown:
markup(:markdown, /md|mkdn?|markdown/) do |content|
Markdown.new(content).to_html
end
We give the markup
method three bits of information: the name of the
file to require
, a regular expression for extensions to match, and a
block to run with unformatted markup which should return HTML.
If you need to monkeypatch a RubyGem or something, check out the
included RDoc example.
Tests should be added in the same manner as described under the Commands
section.
gem install github-markup
require 'github/markup'
GitHub::Markup.render('README.markdown', "* One\n* Two")
Or, more realistically:
require 'github/markup'
GitHub::Markup.render(file, File.read(file))
To run the tests:
$ rake
To add tests see the Commands
section earlier in this
README.
git checkout -b my_markup
)git commit -am "Added Snarkdown"
