Mobiledoc

A Python package aimed to simplify the processing of the mobiledoc format.

Features

• Simple API: Intuitive methods to easily add text, formatted text, dividers, and custom data.
• Markdown-like Formatting: Write using familiar markdown-like syntax, and let the package do the heavy lifting.
• Convert HTML to Markdown: Convert HTML to markdown using the add_markdown_from_html() method.
• Serialization: Serialize the mobiledoc object into a JSON-friendly format.

Installation

pip install mobiledoc PyPi

Example

from mobiledoc import Mobiledoc
import json

mobiledoc = Mobiledoc()
mobiledoc.add_basic_text("This is a basic text, which is not formatted.")
mobiledoc.add_basic_text(["You may also add a list of strings.", "To add multiple paragraphs."])
mobiledoc.add_divider()  # add a divider
mobiledoc.add_formatted_text("Using **markdown-like** syntax, you can *format* the text.")
mobiledoc.add_formatted_text(["You may also add a `list of strings`.", "To ^add^ ^^multiple^^ paragraphs.",
                              "You can also add [hyperlinks](https://python.org)."])

mobiledoc = mobiledoc.serialize()  # This will save the mobiledoc as a dictionary

with open('doc.json', 'w') as f:
    json.dump(mobiledoc, f, indent=4)  # check out the doc.json file to see the mobiledoc just created!

This will create redy-to-use mobiledoc like below. (click expand to see the mobiledoc)
