Requirements

Documentation

Allows inserting variables into Markdown.

The following Markdown example:

This paragraph contains ${chickens} chickens.

This paragraph contains no chickens but ${foxes} foxes.

Are there ninjas here? ${ninjas}.

Might result in:

This paragraph contains 5 chickens.

This paragraph contains no chickens but 3 foxes.

Are there ninjas here? ninjas not found.

Python usage:

md = markdown.Markdown(
    extensions=[
        'variables',
    ],
    extension_configs={
        'variables': {
            'vars': {
              'chickens': '5',
              'foxes': (lambda: 3),
              '__getattr__': (lambda name: "{} not found".format(name)),
            },
        }
    })

Configuration options:

  • vars: A dictionary mapping variable names to variable values.

    If a value is a function, that function will be called without arguments and the result will be used as the variable value.

    The special variable __getattr__ may specify a function f(name) -> value to call when no matching variable is found.
