Discord Markdown

I needed to render some Discord chat logs as HTML, and found that the Markdown implementation in Discord isn't quite compliant with Common Markdown as Discord uses a simplified version.

So I wrote this library that allows you to convert a discord message written in the Markdown formatting syntax specified here to html.

Installation

You can install the library from pypi:

pip install discord-markdown

Usage

from discord_markdown.discord_markdown import convert_to_html

text = "_This_ **is** an __example__.\nThis should be a different paragraph."
html = convert_to_html(text)

assert html == '<p><i>This</i> <b>is</b> an <u>example</u>.</p><p>This should be a different paragraph.</p>'
