An implementation of Github-Flavored Markdown written as an extension to the Python Markdown library.

Project description

Build status Coverage status Documentation Status

This is an implementation of GitHub-Flavored Markdown written as an extension to the Python Markdown library. It aims for, but does not achieve, maximal compatibility with GitHub’s rendering.

Tested Python versions are 3.5 to 3.8. Sorry, no Python 2.7 support starting with py-gfm 1.x since the Python Markdown library itself is Python 3 only.

Documentation

You can browse or download the precompiled documentation on Read the Docs.

To build the Sphinx documentation from source, use:

cd doc && make html

Supported features

  • Fenced code blocks

  • Literal line breaks

  • Tables

  • Hyperlink parsing (http, https, ftp, email and www subdomains)

  • Code highlighting for code blocks if Pygments is available

  • Mixed-style lists with no separation

  • Strikethrough

  • Task lists

Unsupported features and known differences

py-gfm is a pure Python implementation based on the Python Markdown library and therefore cannot reproduce GitHub’s own implementation with 100% accuracy.

See the docs for a list of known discrepancies.
