    I have found that when you start working on just a single project, it will naturally lead to other opportunities (e.g. upstream libraries, similar projects, etc). When I started working on MarkBind, a static site generator, I was also making occasional contributions to some of the plugins for markdown-it, the Markdown parser that MarkBind uses. I was fixing bugs in MarkBind by discovering the root causes in the upstream libraries and pushing fixes there to hopefully benefit other projects as well. I even made a pull request to fix the documentation that I was reading on an MDN page for : The Table Body element, something that broke the server-side rendering of MarkBind.

    Next, I setup a markdown parser, markdown-it. I then created another Mustache lambda for converting markdown to HTML and injecting it in the template output. I also ran the Markdown string through the Mustache parser, so I could use my “media” lambda inside markdown. This is where things got gross in the code.

    At its core it is an extension to the popular open-source Markdown library markdown-it. Plugins for markdown parsers and preprocesseors are an avenue for more innovation of this nature.
  • Rendering Markdown with Enhance

    Enhance does not natively support rendering markdown into HTML, which is out of scope for the project. Instead, we rely on markdown-it, an excellent JavaScript markdown parser that is endlessly configurable with plugins. As we use markdown in many different projects, we’ve created a node module called, Arcdown, which packages together our preferred conventions for parsing markdown files.
