trimgmi 0.3.0

Opinionated parsing of gemtext.

trimgmi

Opinionated parsing of gemtext.

Usage

See "convert", "command" and "sample" modules for examples.

FIXME: Document this in more detail.

Description

Gemtext (GMI) is a lightweight, line-oriented markup language designed for the Gemini internet protocol. This module parses gemtext, ignoring extraneous whitespace. Text after closing ``` marks is also ignored.

The resulting objects can be rendered line-by-line without further parsing logic.

Also included are:

• round-trip render back to GMI with minimal whitespace
• simple render to CommonMark
• opinionated render to HTML
• primitive command line tools for the above

Implementation

This module has no external dependencies.

This implementation is deliberately verbose so that a developer can confirm by reading that the parser follows the gemtext specification. Optimising the core module is out-of-scope.

Testing

The following commands should run without changing the target files:

trimgmi test_search
# example.gmi remains tidy
# example.txt remains untidy
# *.license remain unchanged

convertgmi gmi README test_output/README.gmi  # identical
convertgmi md README test_output/README.md  # readable
convertgmi html README test_output/README.html  # readable

FIXME: Implement and document a comprehensive round-trip test harness.

Build

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

If everything works as expected you should end up with the files:

dist/trimgmi-<version>-py3-none-any.whl
dist/trimgmi-<version>.tar.gz

You can now optionally upload to PyPI:

twine upload dist/*
