Usage

Overview

The TclSoldout extension is a Tcl binding to libsoldout, a lightweight C library that can parse Markdown.

The ::soldout::escape_html command replace '<', '>', '&' and '"' in the string with their HTML entities and return the modified text.

The ::soldout::mkd2html command parse markdown text and return HTML (self-closing tags are rendered like this: <br>).

The ::soldout::mkd2xhtml command parse markdown text and return XHTML (self-closing tags like: <br />).

The options are as follows:

-discount

enable Discount extensions:

• image size specification, by appending "=(width)x(height)" to the link

• pseudo-protocols in links:

  • abbr:description for <abbr title="description">...</abbr>

  • class:name for <span class="name">...</span>

  • id:name for <span id="name">...</span>

  • raw:text for verbatim unprocessed text inclusion

• class blocks: blockquotes beginning with %class% will be rendered as a div of the given class(es)

  and PHP-Markdown-like tables.

-natext

enable Discount extensions and Natasha's own extensions:

• id attribute for headers, using the syntax id#Header text

• class attribute for paragraphs, by putting class name(s) between parenthesis at the very beginning of the paragraph

• <ins> and <del> spans, using respectively ++ and -- as delimiters (with emphasis-like restrictions, i.e. an opening delimiter cannot be followed by a whitespace, and a closing delimiter cannot be preceded by a whitespace)

• plain <span> without attribute, using emphasis-like delimiter |
