API

parse(text) => [Line]

Parse out some gemini text into an array of Line items to render

Text{type:'text', content: string}

Any lines that don't fit into other formats, will be Text. content is the raw text to render.

Link{type:'link', href: string, content: string}

Lines starting with => will be parsed as links. The line will then contain a URL that will go under href, followed by some optional whitespace, and then a description for the text stored in content.

Pre{type:'pre', items: [string], alt}

Sections of text that look like this:

Some text

Will be parsed as a sing Pre line. The items are the lines within the block. If ther was additional text provided in the backticks, it'll be in the alt text.

Header{type:'header', level: number, content: string}

Lines starting with one or more # symbols will be interpreted as headers. The number of consequtive # symbols will be the level of the header. The header text will be within content.

List{type:'list', items: [string]}

Lines starting with * will be grouped together. Each line will be an item within items.

Quote{type: 'quote', content: 'string'}

Lines starting with > will be interpreted as a quote with the content being separated out.

render([Block]) => html

Take the parsed out blocks and render an HTML page.

This module uses escape-goat to avoid HTML and JS injection to combat XSS.

Regular Text will be converted to <p> tags, however blank lines will be converted to <br/> elements as per the spec.

Preformatted text will be turned into <pre> tags. If there was an alt specified, the text will be wrapped in <code class="language-${alt}> so that it can be easily integrated with highlight.js.

List are converted to <ul> elements with <li> for each item in the list.

Paragraphs are converted to the appropriate <h1...n> elements.

Quote items will be wrapped in <blockquote> elements.
