marked-ast

A modified version of marked that can produce an abstract syntax tree for Markdown.

Usage

``js
var marked = require('marked-ast');
var ast = marked.parse('_This is Markdown_, he said.');
var html = marked.render(ast);
`

The package is just a wrapper for marked, so the produced HTML should be identical (if it isn't it's a bug). The AST produced in the example would look like this:

`json
[
{
"type": "paragraph",
"text": [
{
"type": "em",
"text": [
"This is ",
{
"type": "strong",
"text": [ "Markdown" ]
}
]
},
", he said."
]
}
]
`

Development

Basic setup:

`bash
git clone https://github.com/pdubroy/marked-ast.git
cd marked-ast
npm install
git submodule update --init
`

$3

Use npm test to run the tests. Before checking code in, run npm run prepublish.

To update to a new version of marked:

`bash
cd third_party/marked
git checkout # E.g., git checkout v0.3.3
cd ../..
npm run rewrite && npm test
