> A Markdown parser written in Go. Easy to extend, standard compliant, well structured.
|
|
|
|
goldmark is compliant with CommonMark 0.29.
|
|
|
|
Motivation
|
|
----------------------
|
|
I need a Markdown parser for Go that meets following conditions:
|
|
|
|
- Easy to extend.
|
|
- Markdown is poor in document expressions compared with other light markup languages like reStructuredText.
|
|
- We have extensions to the Markdown syntax, e.g. PHP Markdown Extra, GitHub Flavored Markdown.
|
|
- Standard compliant.
|
|
- Markdown has many dialects.
|
|
- GitHub Flavored Markdown is widely used and it is based on CommonMark aside from whether CommonMark is good specification or not.
|
|
- CommonMark is too complicated and hard to implement.
|
|
- Well structured.
|
|
- AST based, and preserves source position of nodes.
|
|
- Written in pure Go.
|
|
|
|
[golang-commonmark](https://gitlab.com/golang-commonmark/markdown) may be a good choice, but it seems to be a copy of [markdown-it](https://github.com/markdown-it).
|
|
|
|
[blackfriday.v2](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/tree/v2) is a fast and widely used implementation, but it is not CommonMark compliant and cannot be extended from outside of the package since its AST uses structs instead of interfaces.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, its behavior differs from other implementations in some cases, especially regarding lists: ([Deep nested lists don't output correctly #329](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/issues/329), [List block cannot have a second line #244](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/issues/244), etc).
|
|
|
|
This behavior sometimes causes problems. If you migrate your Markdown text to blackfriday-based wikis from GitHub, many lists will immediately be broken.
|
|
|
|
As mentioned above, CommonMark is too complicated and hard to implement, so Markdown parsers based on CommonMark barely exist.
|
|
|
|
Features
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
- **Standard compliant.** goldmark gets full compliance with the latest CommonMark spec.
|
|
- **Extensible.** Do you want to add a `@username` mention syntax to Markdown?
|
|
You can easily do it in goldmark. You can add your AST nodes,
|
|
parsers for block level elements, parsers for inline level elements,
|
|
transformers for paragraphs, transformers for whole AST structure, and
|
|
renderers.
|
|
- **Performance.** goldmark performs pretty much equally to cmark,
|
|
the CommonMark reference implementation written in C.
|
|
- **Robust.** goldmark is tested with [go-fuzz](https://github.com/dvyukov/go-fuzz), a fuzz testing tool.
|
|
- **Builtin extensions.** goldmark ships with common extensions like tables, strikethrough,
|
|
task lists, and definition lists.
|
|
- **Depends only on standard libraries.**

### Built-in extensions
|
|
|
|
- `extension.Table`
|
|
- [GitHub Flavored Markdown: Tables](https://github.github.com/gfm/#tables-extension-)
|
|

- This extension enables Table, Strikethrough, Linkify and TaskList.
|
|
- This extension does not filter tags defined in [6.11: Disallowed Raw HTML (extension)](https://github.github.com/gfm/#disallowed-raw-html-extension-).
|
|
If you need to filter HTML tags, see [Security](#security)
|
|
- `extension.DefinitionList`
|
|
- [PHP Markdown Extra: Definition lists](https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/#def-list)
|
|
- `extension.Footnote`
|
|
- [PHP Markdown Extra: Footnotes](https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/#footnotes)
|
|
- `extension.Typographer`

|
|
|
|
### Attributes
|
|
`parser.WithAttribute` option allows you to define attributes on some elements.
|
|
|
|
Currently only headings support attributes.
|
|
|
|
**Attributes are being discussed in the
|
|
[CommonMark forum](https://talk.commonmark.org/t/consistent-attribute-syntax/272).
|
|
This syntax may possibly change in the future.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Headings
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
## heading ## {#id .className attrName=attrValue class="class1 class2"}
|
|
|
|
## heading {#id .className attrName=attrValue class="class1 class2"}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
heading {#id .className attrName=attrValue}
|
|
============
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Typographer extension
|
|
|
|
Typographer extension translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into typographic punctuation HTML entities.
|
|
|
|
Default substitutions are:
|
|
|
|
| Punctuation | Default entity |
|
|
| ------------ | ---------- |
|
|
| `'` | `‘`, `’` |
|
|
| `"` | `“`, `”` |
|
|
| `--` | `–` |
|
|
| `---` | `—` |
|
|
| `...` | `…` |
|
|
| `<<` | `«` |
|
|
| `>>` | `»` |
|
|
|
|
You can overwrite the substitutions by `extensions.WithTypographicSubstitutions`.
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
markdown := goldmark.New(
|
|
goldmark.WithExtensions(
|
|
extension.NewTypographer(
|
|
extension.WithTypographicSubstitutions(extension.TypographicSubstitutions{
|
|
extension.LeftSingleQuote: []byte("‚"),
|
|
extension.RightSingleQuote: nil, // nil disables a substitution
|
|
}),
|
|
),
|
|
),
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Security
|
|
--------------------
|
|
By default, goldmark does not render raw HTML and potentially dangerous URLs.
|
|
If you need to gain more control over untrusted contents, it is recommended to
|
|
use an HTML sanitizer such as [bluemonday](https://github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday).
|
|
|
|
Benchmark
|
|
--------------------
|
|
You can run this benchmark in the `_benchmark` directory.
|
|
|
|
### against other golang libraries
|
|
|
|
blackfriday v2 seems to be fastest, but it is not CommonMark compliant, so the performance of
|
|
blackfriday v2 cannot simply be compared with that of the other CommonMark compliant libraries.
|
|
|
|
Though goldmark builds clean extensible AST structure and get full compliance with
|
|
CommonMark, it is reasonably fast and has lower memory consumption.
|
|
|

### against cmark (CommonMark reference implementation written in C)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
----------- cmark -----------
|
|
file: _data.md
|
|
iteration: 50
|
|
average: 0.0037760639 sec
|
|
go run ./goldmark_benchmark.go
|
|
------- goldmark -------
|
|
file: _data.md
|
|
iteration: 50
|
|
average: 0.0040964230 sec
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
As you can see, goldmark performs pretty much equally to cmark.
|
|
|
|
Extensions
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|

- [goldmark-meta](https://github.com/yuin/goldmark-meta): A YAML metadata
|
|
extension for the goldmark Markdown parser.
|
|
- [goldmark-highlighting](https://github.com/yuin/goldmark-highlighting): A Syntax highlighting extension
|
|
for the goldmark markdown parser.
|
|

|
|
|
|
goldmark internal(for extension developers)
|

----------------------------------------------
|
|
### Overview
|
|
goldmark's Markdown processing is outlined as a bellow diagram.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<Markdown in []byte, parser.Context>
|
|
|
|
|
V
|
|
+-------- parser.Parser ---------------------------
|
|
| 1. Parse block elements into AST
|
|
| 1. If a parsed block is a paragraph, apply
|
|
| ast.ParagraphTransformer
|
|
| 2. Traverse AST and parse blocks.
|
|
| 1. Process delimiters(emphasis) at the end of
|
|
| block parsing
|
|
| 3. Apply parser.ASTTransformers to AST
|
|
|
|
|
V
|
|
<ast.Node>
|
|
|
|
|
V
|
|
+------- renderer.Renderer ------------------------
|
|
| 1. Traverse AST and apply renderer.NodeRenderer
|
|
| corespond to the node type
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
V
|
|
<Output>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parsing
|
|
Markdown documents are read through `text.Reader` interface.
|
|
|
|
AST nodes do not have concrete text. AST nodes have segment information of the documents. It is represented by `text.Segment` .
|
|
|
|
`text.Segment` has 3 attributes: `Start`, `End`, `Padding` .
|
|
|
|
|
|
**TODO**
|
|
|
|
See `extension` directory for examples of extensions.
|
|
|
|
Summary:
|
|
|
|
1. Define AST Node as a struct in which `ast.BaseBlock` or `ast.BaseInline` is embedded.
|
|
2. Write a parser that implements `parser.BlockParser` or `parser.InlineParser`.
|
|
3. Write a renderer that implements `renderer.NodeRenderer`.
|
|
4. Define your goldmark extension that implements `goldmark.Extender`.
