1. Usage

Using parse method, you can transform a markdown string into a terminal formatted content:

parsed = TTY::Markdown.parse("# Hello")
puts parsed
# => "\e[36;1mHello\e[0m\n"

The parse_file allows you to transform a markdown document into a terminal formatted output:

parsed = TTY::Markdown.parse_file('example.md')
puts parsed

1.1 Header

Parsing the following markdown headers:

TTY::Markdown
=============

**tty-markdown** converts markdown document into a terminal friendly output.

## Examples

### Nested list items

The terminal output looks like this:

1.2 List

Both numbered and unordered lists are supported. Given a markdown:

- Item 1
  - Item 2
  - Item 3
    - Item 4
- Item 5

The parsed output looks like this:

1.3 Definition List

Given a definition list:

Item 1
: This is the description for Item 1

Item 2
: This is the description for Item 2
: This is another description for Item 2

The parsed output looks like this:

1.4 Link

A markdown link:

[An inline-style link](https://ttytoolkit.org)

[An inline-style link with title](https://ttytoolkit.org "TTY Toolkit Homepage")

The link text will be rendered with the link next to it:

1.5 Blockquote

Given a markdown quote:

> Blockquotes are very handy in email to emulate reply text.
> This line is part of the same quote.
> *Oh*, you can put **Markdown** into a blockquote.

The rendered output looks like this:

1.6 Code and Syntax Highlighting

The parser can highlight syntax of many programming languages.

Given a markdown codeblock with a language specification:

```ruby
class Greeter
  def hello(name)
    puts "Hello #{name}"
  end
end
```

The terminal output will look like this:

1.7 Table

You can transform tables which understand the markdown alignment.

For example, given the following table:

| Tables   |      Are      |  Cool |
|----------|:-------------:|------:|
| col 1 is |  left-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is |    centered   |   $12 |
| col 3 is | right-aligned |    $1 |

Then the terminal output will look like this:

1.8 Horizontal Rule

You can specify a horizontal rule in markdown:

***

and then transform it:

parsed = TTY::Markdown.parse(markdown_string)

puts parsed will output:

1.9 Footnotes

You can create footnote references:

It is not down on any map[^foo]; true places[^bar] never are.

[^foo]: A diagrammatic representation of an area of land or sea.
[^bar]: A particular position, point, or area in space; a location.

All footnotes will be displayed with a sequential number and rendered in the terminal like this:

2. Options

2.1 :mode

By default the 256 color scheme is used to render code block elements.

You can change this by specifying maximum number of colors to be 16 ANSI colors:

TTY::Markdown.parse(markdown_string, mode: 16)

This feature may be handy when working in terminals with limited color support.

By default, TTY::Markdown detects your terminal color mode and adjusts output automatically.

2.2 :theme

A hash of styles that allows to customize specific elements of the markdown text. By default the following styles are used:

THEME = {
  em: :yellow,
  header: [:cyan, :bold],
  hr: :yellow,
  link: [:yellow, :underline],
  list: :yellow,
  strong: [:yellow, :bold],
  table: :yellow,
  quote: :yellow,
  image: :bright_black,
  note: :yellow,
  comment: :bright_black
}

In order to provide new styles use :theme key:

TTY::Markdown.parse(markdown_string, theme: { ... })

2.3 :width

You can easily control the maximum width of the output by using the :width key:

TTY::Markdown.parse(markdown_string, width: 80)

By default the terminal screen width is used.

2.4 :symbols

By default formatting will include various Unicode symbols. You can switch to an included ASCII set and/or override individually with the :symbols key:

TTY::Markdown.parse(markdown_string, symbols: :ascii)
TTY::Markdown.parse(markdown_string, symbols: {base: :ascii})
TTY::Markdown.parse(markdown_string, symbols: {override: {bullet: "x"}})

2.5 :indent

By default any content apart from the main h1 header is indented with 2 spaces. Use :indent to provide custom indent or no indent at all:

TTY::Markdown.parse(markdown_string, indent: 0)

2.6 :color

You can control when to apply coloring to various document elements.

Valid values are :never, :always or :auto. By default :auto is used which auto detects if coloring can be applied.

For example, to always color content regardless of terminal support do:

TTY::Markdown.parse(markdown_string, color: :always)

3. Command line tool

You can install tty-markdown-cli to use tty-markdown executable in terminal:

$ tty-markdown README.md

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
