Project description
Micron2HTML
A Python library and CLI tool that converts Micron markup to HTML.
Micron is the terminal markup language used by NomadNet nodes. This library lets you render Micron pages in web browsers and other HTML-capable environments.
Installation
pip install Micron2HTML
Or from source:
git clone https://github.com/JamesM92/Micron2HTML.git
cd Micron2HTML
pip install -e .
No runtime dependencies — pure Python 3.9+.
Library usage
from micron2html import MicronConverter
conv = MicronConverter()
html = conv.convert(micron_text)
# With context for resolving internal links
html = conv.convert(
micron_text,
node_hash="a1b2c3d4...", # destination hash of the source node
base_path="/page/index.mu", # current page path
authenticated=True, # render form fields as interactive inputs
)
# Inline-only — for titles, message previews, brand strings.
# Returns formatted HTML without the <div class="mu-line"> wrapper.
title_html = conv.convert_inline("`F4af`!My Node`!`f")
convert() returns an HTML fragment (no <html> or <body> wrapper). Wrap it in your own template or use the CLI for standalone pages.
Custom URL resolution
By default, links resolve to canonical hash://<hash>/<path> URLs (and http(s):// URLs pass through). If your web app uses a different URL pattern — e.g. /page?url=… — pass a resolver callback:
import urllib.parse
from micron2html import MicronConverter, default_url_resolver
def my_resolver(url: str, node_hash: str, base_path: str) -> str:
canonical = default_url_resolver(url, node_hash, base_path)
if canonical.startswith("hash://"):
return f"/page?url={urllib.parse.quote(canonical, safe='')}"
return canonical
conv = MicronConverter(url_resolver=my_resolver)
Default stylesheet
A MeshChat-parity stylesheet ships with the package, named to make the design intent explicit:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/micron-meshchat.css">
The file lives at micron2html/micron-meshchat.css in the installed package — copy it into your static directory, or import it via your build pipeline. All rules are scoped to .mu-* classes so they won't bleed into the rest of your page.
CLI usage
# Convert a file and print to stdout
micron-convert page.mu
# Convert and write to a file
micron-convert page.mu -o page.html
# Read from stdin
cat page.mu | micron-convert -
# Output an HTML fragment instead of a full page
micron-convert page.mu --fragment
# Set the node hash so internal links resolve correctly
micron-convert page.mu --node-hash a1b2c3d4e5f6...
Micron syntax
Comments and headers
# This is a comment — the whole line is stripped from output
#!bg=2a2a2a Set page background colour (3 or 6 hex digits)
#!fg=aaaaaa Set page foreground colour
Headings and sections
>Section heading h1
>>Subsection h2
>>>Sub-subsection h3
Dividers
--- Horizontal rule
-= Double horizontal rule
-<x> Styled divider — repeats character `x` (e.g. -* renders centred * row)
Inline formatting
`!text`! Bold
`*text`* Italic
`_text`_ Underline
`Fxxx Set foreground colour (3-hex shorthand: each digit doubled — F40 → #ff4400)
`FTxxxxxx Set foreground colour (6-hex true colour)
`f Reset foreground colour to default
`Bxxx Set background colour (3-hex shorthand)
`BTxxxxxx Set background colour (6-hex)
`b Reset background colour to default
`` Reset ALL inline formatting (bold, italic, underline, colours, alignment)
Alignment
`a Left align (default)
`c Centre align
`r Right align
Links
`[Label`href] Labelled link
`[`http://example.com] URL-only link
`[Label`/relative/path.mu] Relative path (resolved against base_path)
`[Label`hash://a1b2c3/page.mu] Node link (resolved against node_hash)
Literal blocks
`=
This text is rendered verbatim in a <pre> block.
No Micron formatting is applied inside.
`=
Form fields
Fields render as disabled <input> elements unless authenticated=True is passed to convert().
`<name`default> Text input — name with optional default value
`<size|name`default> Text input with character size (e.g. `<20|name`>)
`<!|name`default> Password input (! flag)
`<?|name|value> Checkbox (* at end pre-checks: `<?|name|value|*>)
`<^|name|value> Radio button (* at end pre-selects)
Security
All user-supplied content is HTML-escaped before output. The converter is safe to use with untrusted Micron input — XSS via markup is explicitly tested in the test suite.
External URLs are rendered as plain <a> links. File download links (file://) are blocked. Internal NomadNet links are resolved to application-relative hrefs.
Running tests
pip install pytest
pytest tests/

git log --color,htop,ls --color) into Micron. Pair with Micron2HTML to expose existing CLI tools through a NomadNet site or a web frontend:git log --color=always | ansi2micron | micron-convert -
