mrkdwnify 0.1.1

Python adaptation of the javascript html-to-mrkdwn library.

mrkdwnify

mrkdwnify is an adaptation of the javascript html-to-mrkdwn library. There are some small implementation differences between html-to-mrkdwn and mrkdwnify.

If you don't know what mrkdwn is, it's a subset of Markdown made by Slack, to enable users to craft nicely formatted messages on their platform. Do not use this if you're looking for a regular html to markdown parser. Try: https://github.com/matthewwithanm/python-markdownify

mrkdwnify itself is derived directly from the python-markdownify library. It overrides several methods from the original library and passes option presets to make outputs compatible with the mrkdwn spec.

1. Consecutive and are not treated as inline elements.
2. For "checked" attributes in input tags you need to provide a "true" value

Ex: <li class="task-list-item"><input class="task-list-item-checkbox" type="checkbox" checked="true">item</li> => ☑︎ item

Other than that the implementation should be the same.

Important things to note:

• <table> elements will not be rendered at all (not even their content) unless you pass render_tables=True as a keyword argument.

Installation

Until I can figure out PyPi:

pip install git+https://github.com/bengelb-io/py-html-to-mrkdwn

Use

from mrkdwnify import mrkdwnify

html = "<h1>Hello this is a mrkdwn header!</h1>"
mrkdwn = mrkdwnify(html) # *Hello this is a mrkdwn header!*

html = '<p>Hello this is an inline link! <a href="https://www.example.com">Example</a></p>'
mrkdwn = mrkdwnify(html) # Hello this is an inline link! <https://www.example.com|Example>
