A tiny script to markdown: tinydown

Isn't a tiny markdown parser lovely ?

A markdown is an easy to read and quite easy to parse syntax, ideal for documents that could be understood by human, and easily converted by machines.

You are reading markdown now!

This blogpost is generated on the fly via the proposed script.
Here the code example used for this page:

this.onload = function () {
  document.body.innerHTML = tinydown(
    document.body.textContent
  );
};

You can find a very nice guide about how to markdown here.

What is supported ?

• headers with = or - notation

• headers with # notation

• blockquotes and nested blockquotes

• ordered and unordered lists

• images with optional alt ant title

• inline links with arbitrary title

• <em> via single asterisks/underscore, or double for <strong> tag

• inline code via ` backtick

What is not supported ? ###

paragraphs are missings

nested lists and nested markdown inside lists

links with references and/or id

raw html is not recognized, validated, parsed

and just to demonstrate it works

this is a nested blockquote example :-)

have a lovely day
