|
|
|

|

In theory, Showdown will work in any browser that supports ECMA 262 3rd Edition (JavaScript 1.5). The converter itself might even work in things that aren't web browsers, like Acrobat. No promises.

-Creating Markdown Extensions

|

|
|
+## Creating Markdown Extensions
|
|
|
|
|
|
A showdown extension is simply a function which returns an array of extensions. Each single extension can be one of two types:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- - Language Extension -- Language extensions are ones that that add new markdown syntax to showdown. For example, say you wanted `^^youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0` to automatically render as an embedded YouTube video, that would be a language extension.
|
|
|
- - Output Modifiers -- After showdown has run, and generated HTML, an output modifier would change that HTML. For example, say you wanted to change `<div class="header">` to be `<header>`, that would be an output modifier.

|

Each extension can provide two combinations of interfaces for showdown.

Two properties are given, `regex` and `replace`. `regex` is a string and `replace` can be either a string or a function. If `replace` is a string, it can use the `$1` syntax for group substituation, exactly as if it were making use of `string.replace` (internally it does this actually); The value of `regex` is assumed to be a global replacement.

To add test cases for an extension, create a new folder under `./test/extensions` which matches the name of the `.js` file in `./src/extensions`. Place any test cases into the filder using the md/html format and they will automatically be run when tests are run.
