goldmark

A Markdown parser written in Go. Easy to extend, standards-compliant, well-structured.

goldmark is compliant with CommonMark 0.29.

Motivation

I needed a Markdown parser for Go that satisfies the following requirements:

Easy to extend.
- Markdown is poor in document expressions compared to other light markup languages such as reStructuredText.
- We have extensions to the Markdown syntax, e.g. PHP Markdown Extra, GitHub Flavored Markdown.
Standards-compliant.
- Markdown has many dialects.
- GitHub-Flavored Markdown is widely used and is based upon CommonMark, effectively mooting the question of whether or not CommonMark is an ideal specification.
  - CommonMark is complicated and hard to implement.
Well-structured.
- AST-based; preserves source position of nodes.
Written in pure Go.

golang-commonmark may be a good choice, but it seems to be a copy of markdown-it.

blackfriday.v2 is a fast and widely-used implementation, but 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, List block cannot have a second line #244, etc.

This behavior sometimes causes problems. If you migrate your Markdown text from GitHub to blackfriday-based wikis, many lists will immediately be broken.

As mentioned above, CommonMark is complicated and hard to implement, so Markdown parsers based on CommonMark are few and far between.

Features

Standards-compliant. goldmark is fully compliant with the latest CommonMark specification.
Extensible. Do you want to add a @username mention syntax to Markdown?
You can easily do so in goldmark. You can add your AST nodes,
parsers for block-level elements, parsers for inline-level elements,
transformers for paragraphs, transformers for the whole AST structure, and
renderers.
Performance. goldmark's performance is on par with that of cmark,
the CommonMark reference implementation written in C.
Robust. goldmark is tested with go-fuzz, a fuzz testing tool.
Built-in extensions. goldmark ships with common extensions like tables, strikethrough,
task lists, and definition lists.
Depends only on standard libraries.

Installation

$ go get github.com/yuin/goldmark

Usage

Import packages:

import (
    "bytes"
    "github.com/yuin/goldmark"
)

Convert Markdown documents with the CommonMark-compliant mode:

var buf bytes.Buffer
if err := goldmark.Convert(source, &buf); err != nil {
  panic(err)
}

With options

var buf bytes.Buffer
if err := goldmark.Convert(source, &buf, parser.WithContext(ctx)); err != nil {
  panic(err)
}

Functional option	Type	Description
`parser.WithContext`	A `parser.Context`	Context for the parsing phase.

Context options

Functional option	Type	Description
`parser.WithIDs`	A `parser.IDs`	`IDs` allows you to change logics that are related to element id(ex: Auto heading id generation).

Custom parser and renderer

import (
    "bytes"
    "github.com/yuin/goldmark"
    "github.com/yuin/goldmark/extension"
    "github.com/yuin/goldmark/parser"
    "github.com/yuin/goldmark/renderer/html"

md := goldmark.New(
          goldmark.WithExtensions(extension.GFM),
          goldmark.WithParserOptions(
              parser.WithAutoHeadingID(),
          ),
          goldmark.WithRendererOptions(
              html.WithHardWraps(),
              html.WithXHTML(),
          ),
      )

`html.WithUnsafe`	`-`	By default, goldmark does not render raw HTML or potentially dangerous links. With this option, goldmark renders such content as written.

Built-in extensions

extension.Table
- GitHub Flavored Markdown: Tables
extension.Strikethrough
- GitHub Flavored Markdown: Strikethrough
extension.Linkify
- GitHub Flavored Markdown: Autolinks
extension.TaskList
- GitHub Flavored Markdown: Task list items
extension.GFM
- This extension enables Table, Strikethrough, Linkify and TaskList.
- This extension does not filter tags defined in 6.11: Disallowed Raw HTML (extension).
  If you need to filter HTML tags, see Security.
extension.DefinitionList
- PHP Markdown Extra: Definition lists
extension.Footnote
- PHP Markdown Extra: Footnotes
extension.Typographer
- This extension substitutes punctuations with typographic entities like smartypants.

Attributes

The parser.WithAttribute option allows you to define attributes on some elements.

Currently only headings support attributes.

Attributes are being discussed in the
CommonMark forum.
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

The Typographer extension translates plain ASCII punctuation characters into typographic-punctuation HTML entities.

Default substitutions are:

Punctuation	Default entity
`'`	`‘`, `’`
`"`	`“`, `”`
`--`	`–`
`---`	`—`
`...`	`…`
`<<`	`«`
`>>`	`»`

You can override the defualt substitutions via extensions.WithTypographicSubstitutions:

markdown := goldmark.New(
    goldmark.WithExtensions(
        extension.NewTypographer(
            extension.WithTypographicSubstitutions(extension.TypographicSubstitutions{
                extension.LeftSingleQuote:  []byte("&sbquo;"),
                extension.RightSingleQuote: nil, // nil disables a substitution
            }),
        ),
    ),
)

Linkify extension

The Linkify extension implements Autolinks(extension), as
defined in GitHub Flavored Markdown Spec.

Since the spec does not define details about URLs, there are numerous ambiguous cases.

You can override autolinking patterns via options.

Functional option	Type	Description
`extension.WithLinkifyAllowedProtocols`	`[][]byte`	List of allowed protocols such as `[][]byte{ []byte("http:") }`
`extension.WithLinkifyURLRegexp`	`*regexp.Regexp`	Regexp that defines URLs, including protocols
`extension.WithLinkifyWWWRegexp`	`*regexp.Regexp`	Regexp that defines URL starting with `www.`. This pattern corresponds to the extended www autolink
`extension.WithLinkifyEmailRegexp`	`*regexp.Regexp`	Regexp that defines email addresses`

Example, using xurls:

import "mvdan.cc/xurls/v2"

markdown := goldmark.New(
    goldmark.WithRendererOptions(
        html.WithXHTML(),
        html.WithUnsafe(),
    ),
    goldmark.WithExtensions(
        extension.NewLinkify(
            extension.WithLinkifyAllowedProtocols([][]byte{
                []byte("http:"),
                []byte("https:"),
            }),
            extension.WithLinkifyURLRegexp(
                xurls.Strict(),
            ),
        ),
    ),
)

Security

By default, goldmark does not render raw HTML or potentially-dangerous URLs.
If you need to gain more control over untrusted contents, it is recommended that you
use an HTML sanitizer such as bluemonday.

Benchmark

You can run this benchmark in the _benchmark directory.

against other golang libraries

blackfriday v2 seems to be the fastest, but as it is not CommonMark compliant, its performance cannot be directly compared to that of the CommonMark-compliant libraries.

goldmark, meanwhile, builds a clean, extensible AST structure, achieves full compliance with
CommonMark, and consumes less memory, all while being reasonably fast.

Overview

goldmark's Markdown processing is outlined in the diagram below.

            <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, represented by text.Segment .

text.Segment has 3 attributes: Start, End, Padding .

(TBC)

TODO

See extension directory for examples of extensions.

Summary:

Define AST Node as a struct in which ast.BaseBlock or ast.BaseInline is embedded.
Write a parser that implements parser.BlockParser or parser.InlineParser.
Write a renderer that implements renderer.NodeRenderer.
Define your goldmark extension that implements goldmark.Extender.
