simple-md2html

Simple Markdown to HTML converter. No BS.

Very simple markdown to HTML converter. You can convert it to PDF with any decent browser afterwards.

It uses marked + pygmentize to convert it to html, default options.

What does this library do then?

It embeds all images and style (precompiled from pygmentize) so you have one html file self-contained.

Why do you use pygmentize?

Because any other sucks, even if you have install python for it. Believe me.

Requirements

Install python 2.X or 3.X to use pygmentize.

Example Usage

NodeJS module

const md2html = require('simple-md2html');
md2html(filepath, style, (err, html) => {
  // err will be null if everything is ok
  // html contains the converted markdown document
});

CLI

Install globally with npm install -g simple-md2html to use the CLI.

md2html <filepath> [-s <style>] will create in the current working directory a html file with the same name of the specified markdown document.
