addRule returns the service instance for chaining.
See Extending with Rules below.
keep(filter)
Determines which elements are to be kept and rendered as HTML. By default, Sitdown does not keep any elements. The filter parameter works like a rule filter (see section on filters belows). Example:
This will render <del> and <ins> elements as HTML when converted.
keep can be called multiple times, with the newly added keep filters taking precedence over older ones. Keep filters will be overridden by the standard CommonMark rules and any added rules. To keep elements that are normally handled by those rules, add a rule with the desired behaviour.
keep returns the service instance for chaining.
remove(filter)
Determines which elements are to be removed altogether i.e. converted to an empty string. By default, Sitdown does not remove any elements. The filter parameter works like a rule filter (see section on filters belows). Example:
remove can be called multiple times, with the newly added remove filters taking precedence over older ones. Remove filters will be overridden by the keep filters, standard CommonMark rules, and any added rules. To remove elements that are normally handled by those rules, add a rule with the desired behaviour.
Sitdown can be extended by adding rules. A rule is a plain JavaScript object with filter and replacement properties. For example, the rule for converting <p> elements is as follows:
The filter selects <p> elements, and the replacement function returns the <p> contents separated by two new lines.
filter String|Array|Function
The filter property determines whether or not an element should be replaced with the rule's replacement. DOM nodes can be selected simply using a tag name or an array of tag names:
filter: 'p' will select <p> elements
filter: ['em', 'i'] will select <em> or <i> elements
Alternatively, the filter can be a function that returns a boolean depending on whether a given node should be replaced. The function is passed a DOM node as well as the Service options. For example, the following rule selects <a> elements (with an href) when the linkStyle option is inlined:
The replacement function determines how an element should be converted. It should return the Markdown string for a given node. The function is passed the node's content, the node itself, and the Service options.
The following rule shows how <em> elements are converted:
Blank rule determines how to handle blank elements. It overrides every rule (even those added via addRule). A node is blank if it only contains whitespace, and it's not an <a>, <td>,<th> or a void element. Its behaviour can be customised using the blankReplacement option.
Keep rules determine how to handle the elements that should not be converted, i.e. rendered as HTML in the Markdown output. By default, no elements are kept. Block-level elements will be separated from surrounding content by blank lines. Its behaviour can be customised using the keepReplacement option.
Remove rules determine which elements to remove altogether. By default, no elements are removed.
Default rule handles nodes which are not recognised by any other rule. By default, it outputs the node's text content (separated by blank lines if it is a block-level element). Its behaviour can be customised with the defaultReplacement option.
Rule Precedence
Sitdown iterates over the set of rules, and picks the first one that matches the filter. The following list describes the order of precedence:
Blank rule
Added rules (optional)
Commonmark rules
Keep rules
Remove rules
Default rule
Plugins
The plugin API provides a convenient way for developers to apply multiple extensions. A plugin is just a function that is called with the service instance.
Escaping Markdown Characters
Sitdown uses backslashes (\) to escape Markdown characters in the HTML input. This ensures that these characters are not interpreted as Markdown when the output is compiled back to HTML. For example, the contents of <h1>1. Hello world</h1> needs to be escaped to 1\. Hello world, otherwise it will be interpreted as a list item rather than a heading.
To avoid the complexity and the performance implications of parsing the content of every HTML element as Markdown, Sitdown uses a group of regular expressions to escape potential Markdown syntax. As a result, the escaping rules can be quite aggressive.
