assemble-middleware-md

Assemble Middleware to parse markdown files. Uses Remarkable.

The markdown helper technique is useful when all the pages in your site/collection are written in markdown, but can cause issues when your pages are a collection of different formats.

For example, your homepage might have a complicated layout that is easier to implement using handlebars, but you'd like to use markdown on interior pages that are simpler.

This middleware attaches to your app's onLoad event and only parses .md files allowing you to use the the file format best suited for a page's particular case.

This middleware uses Remarkable the same library at the heart of helper-markdown

Install

With npm

npm i assemble-middleware-md --save

Use

var markdownMid = require('assemble-middleware-md');

app.pages.onLoad(/\.md$/, markdownMid());

Now, any page with the .md extension will be processed as markdown when loaded while other file types are skipped.

Like helper-markdown you can also pass in an options object.

app.pages.onLoad(/\.md$/, markdownMid({linkify: true}));

See Remarkable's README for a complete list of options.

Tests
