A Markdown Parser in Go, this repository contains a Go library for parsing Markdown text and allowing you to manipulate a markdown tree in Go. It's designed to be fast, thread-safe, and minimal in dependencies, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

• Extendability: The parser is easily extendable, since a parse tree can be given, allowing easy incorporation of custom elements.
• Performance: Fast enough to render on-demand in most web applications without having to cache the output.
• Thread Safety: Multiple parsers can run in different goroutines without ill effect.
• Minimal Dependencies: Only depends on standard library packages in Go.
• Large set of elements: By default a large set of markdown elements can be parsed allowing most documents to be parsed.

To use this library in your Go project, follow these steps:

1. Install the library:

go get -u github.com/pjotrscholtze/go-markdown

2. Use the library in your code:

package main

import (
	"github.com/pjotrscholtze/go-markdown/cmd/go-markdown/parser"
)

func main() {
	input := `Before table:

| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|----------|:---------:|----------:|
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 | Cell 3 |
| Cell 4 | Cell 5 | Cell 6<br/>Second line of text |

After first table but before second table:

Another table:

| Column A | Column B | Column C |
|----------|:---------:|----------:|
| Cell 1 | Cell 2 | Cell 3 |
| Cell 4 | Cell 5 | Cell 6<br/>Second line of text |

After second table:`
	doc := parser.ParseString(input, parser.DefaultMarkdownOrder)
	_ = doc
}

Technical documentation can be found in the docs folder.
