It will +// take a text input and produce a text output in HTML (or other format). // -// Blackfriday includes an algorithm for creating sanitized anchor names -// corresponding to a given input text. This algorithm is used to create -// anchors for headings when EXTENSION_AUTO_HEADER_IDS is enabled. The -// algorithm is specified below, so that other packages can create -// compatible anchor names and links to those anchors. +// A slightly more sophisticated way to use Blackfriday is to create a Markdown +// processor and to call Parse, which returns a syntax tree for the input +// document. You can leverage Blackfriday's parsing for content extraction from +// markdown documents. You can assign a custom renderer and set various options +// to the Markdown processor. // -// The algorithm iterates over the input text, interpreted as UTF-8, -// one Unicode code point (rune) at a time. All runes that are letters (category L) -// or numbers (category N) are considered valid characters. They are mapped to -// lower case, and included in the output. All other runes are considered -// invalid characters. Invalid characters that preceed the first valid character, -// as well as invalid character that follow the last valid character -// are dropped completely. All other sequences of invalid characters -// between two valid characters are replaced with a single dash character '-'. -// -// SanitizedAnchorName exposes this functionality, and can be used to -// create compatible links to the anchor names generated by blackfriday. -// This algorithm is also implemented in a small standalone package at -// github.com/shurcooL/sanitized_anchor_name. It can be useful for clients -// that want a small package and don't need full functionality of blackfriday. +// If you're interested in calling Blackfriday from command line, see +// https://github.com/russross/blackfriday-tool. package blackfriday - -// NOTE: Keep Sanitized Anchor Name algorithm in sync with package -// github.com/shurcooL/sanitized_anchor_name. -// Otherwise, users of sanitized_anchor_name will get anchor names -// that are incompatible with those generated by blackfriday. |
