Hoedown
|
|
=======

|
|
|
|
`Hoedown` is a revived fork of [Sundown](https://github.com/vmg/sundown),
|
|
the Markdown parser based on the original code of the
|
|
[Upskirt library](http://fossil.instinctive.eu/libupskirt/index)
|
|
by Natacha Porté.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* **Fully standards compliant**
|
|
|
|
`Hoedown` passes out of the box the official Markdown v1.0.0 and v1.0.3
|
|
test suites, and has been extensively tested with additional corner cases
|
|
to make sure its output is as sane as possible at all times.
|
|
|
|
* **Massive extension support**
|
|
|
|
`Hoedown` has optional support for several (unofficial) Markdown extensions,
|
|
such as non-strict emphasis, fenced code blocks, tables, autolinks,
|
|
strikethrough and more.
|
|
|
|
* **UTF-8 aware**
|
|
|
|
`Hoedown` is fully UTF-8 aware, both when parsing the source document and when
|
|
generating the resulting (X)HTML code.
|
|
|
|
* **Tested & Ready to be used on production**
|
|
|
|
`Hoedown` has been extensively security audited, and includes protection against
|
|
all possible DOS attacks (stack overflows, out of memory situations, malformed
|
|
Markdown syntax...).
|
|
|
|
We've worked very hard to make `Hoedown` never leak or crash under *any* input.
|
|
|
|
**Warning**: `Hoedown` doesn't validate or post-process the HTML in Markdown documents.
|
|
Unless you use `HTML_ESCAPE` or `HTML_SKIP`, you should strongly consider using a
|
|
good post-processor in conjunction with Hoedown to prevent client-side attacks.
|
|
|
|
* **Customizable renderers**
|
|
|
|
`Hoedown` is not stuck with XHTML output: the Markdown parser of the library
|
|
is decoupled from the renderer, so it's trivial to extend the library with
|
|
custom renderers. A fully functional (X)HTML renderer is included.
|
|
|
|
* **Optimized for speed**
|
|
|
|
`Hoedown` is written in C, with a special emphasis on performance. When wrapped
|
|
on a dynamic language such as Python or Ruby, it has shown to be up to 40
|
|
times faster than other native alternatives.
|
|
|
|
* **Zero-dependency**
|
|
|
|
`Hoedown` is a zero-dependency library composed of some `.c` files and their
|
|
headers. No dependencies, no bullshit. Only standard C99 that builds everywhere.
|
|
|
|
* **Additional features**
|
|
|
|
`Hoedown` comes with a fully functional implementation of SmartyPants,
|
|
a separate autolinker, escaping utilities, buffers and stacks.
|
|
|
|
Bindings
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
You can see a community-maintained list of `Hoedown` bindings at
|
|
[the wiki](https://github.com/hoedown/hoedown/wiki/Bindings). There is also a
|
|
[migration guide](https://github.com/hoedown/hoedown/wiki/Migration-Guide)
|
|
available for authors of Sundown bindings.

Help us
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
`Hoedown` is all about security. If you find a (potential) security vulnerability in the
|
|
library, or a way to make it crash through malicious input, please report it to us by
|
|
emailing the private [Hoedown Security](mailto:hoedown-security@googlegroups.com)
|
|
mailing list. The `Hoedown` security team will review the vulnerability and work with you
|
|
to reproduce and resolve it.

|
|
|
Unicode character handling
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Given that the Markdown spec makes no provision for Unicode character handling, `Hoedown`
|
|
takes a conservative approach towards deciding which extended characters trigger Markdown
|
|
features:
|
|
|
|
* Punctuation characters outside of the U+007F codepoint are not handled as punctuation.
|
|
They are considered as normal, in-word characters for word-boundary checks.
|
|
|
|
* Whitespace characters outside of the U+007F codepoint are not considered as
|
|
whitespace. They are considered as normal, in-word characters for word-boundary checks.
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Just typing `make` will build `Hoedown` into a dynamic library and create the `hoedown`
|
|
and `smartypants` executables, which are command-line tools to render Markdown to HTML
|
|
and perform SmartyPants, respectively.
|
|
|
|
If you are using [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org), just add the line `pod 'hoedown'` to your Podfile and call `pod install`.
|
|
|
|
Or, if you prefer, you can just throw the files at `src` into your project.
