pymmd 0.0.1

pymmd

Python wrapper for MultiMarkdown, which converts MultiMarkdown flavored text into one of several outputs formats. This package directly wraps the reference implementation, and provides a simple interface to the library.

The ctypes package is used to wrap libMultiMarkdown in a portable fashion.

Installation

This package requires MultiMarkdown installed as a shared library in order to function. Currently, this can be installed by installing MultiMarkdown from this fork, and following the installation instructions.

Examples

Converting a string of MultiMarkdown directly to various outputs:

import pymmd
# Generate string of MultiMarkdown text named data

html_output = pymmd.convert(data)
latex_output = pymmd.convert(data, fmt=pymmd.LATEX)

#Generate a snippet
html_snippet = pymmd.convert(data, ext=pymmd.SNIPPET)

Files can also be converted directly, which enables the Transclusion capabilities of MultiMarkdown.

import pymmd

#MMD file named data.mmd

html_output = pymmd.convert_from("./data.mmd")
