markdown-magic 1.1.2

A Python-Markdown plugin for creating memes and finding the best-fitting gifs for your posts.

A Python-Markdown plugin for autocreating memes and finding the best-fitting gifs for your posts.

Why?

In most blogging platforms, putting memes or gifs in your posts is a bit of a bother. You have to manually search for them, download/generate them, then upload them back, or search and paste the url.

This Markdown extension was created to make this process simpler, less time-consuming, and more fun!

Installation

Install it using pip:

$ pip install markdown-magic

Usage

For memes

Simply do [magic] meme: top_text | bottom_text [/magic] for whichever meme template you want to use, and markdown-magic will detect which template to use on its own.

The markdown-magic currently supports the following meme templates:

• Lord of the Rings Boromir - “One does not simply”

• The Most Interesting Man in the World - “I don’t always… when I do”

• Ancient Aliens History Channel Guy

• Grumpy Cat

• Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story - “X, X everywhere”

• Futurama Fry - “Not sure if…”

• Y U NO Guy

• Ned Stark from Game of Thrones - “Brace yourself/yourselves…”

• X all the Y

• Bill Lumburgh from Office Space - “…that would be great”

• The rent is too damn high

• The Big Lebowski - “Am I the only one around here…”

• Matrix Morpheus - “What if I told you…”

• Ain’t nobody got time for that

• Heath Ledger Joker - “Nobody bats an eye… everyone loses their minds”

More to be added soon!

For gifs

Just type in [magic] gif: <list of space-separated search parameters> [/magic] and markdown-magic will search and use the appropriate gif according to the given search parameters.

Here’s an example on the Python interpreter:

>>> import markdown
>>> text = """
... [magic] meme: rains | y u no happen during summers [/magic]
... Some text here.
... [magic] gif: spongebob squarepants [/magic]
... """
>>> print(markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['magic']))
<p><img alt="meme: rains | y u no happen during summers " src="http://i.imgflip.com/sytk1.jpg" title="meme: rains | y u no happen during summers " />
Some text here.
<img alt="gif: spongebob squarepants " src="http://media4.giphy.com/media/acEFQYr6ljKDu/200.gif" title="gif: spongebob squarepants " /></p>
