extended-markdown-filter

Extended Markdown filters for the HTML::Pipeline.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'extended-markdown-filter'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install extended-markdown-filter

Usage

The simplest way to do this is

require 'extended-markdown-filter'

Then just use the HTML pipeline normally.

Within Jekyll

Because of the Liquid template engine, if you use this filter with Jekyll, you might find that your curly brace tags--such as {{#tip}}--disappear.

You'll need to pass the context emf_use_blocks through your filter. This sets up a totally safe monkey-patch to convert the {{ }} blocks into [[ ]], so that Liquid ignores them. Then, this renderer will convert the Markdown appropriately.
