[![maven|markwon](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/ru.noties/markwon.svg?label=maven%7Cmarkwon)](http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|g%3A%22ru.noties%22%20AND%20a%3A%markwon%22)
## Installation
```groovy
compile 'ru.noties:markwon:1.0.0'
```
## Intoduction
The aim for this library is to render markdown as first class citizen on Android - Spannables. It has reasonable defaults to display markdown, but also gives ability to customize almost every detail for your liking.
The most basic example would be:
```java
Markwon.setMarkdown(textView, "**Hello *there*!!**")
```
## Images
By default this library does not render any of the images. It's done to simplify rendering of text-based markdown. But if images must be supported, then the `AsyncDrawable.Loader` can be specified whilst building a `SpannableConfiguration` instance:
```java
final AsyncDrawable.Loader loader = new AsyncDrawable.Loader() {
@Override
public void load(@NonNull String destination, @NonNull final AsyncDrawable drawable) {
// `download` method is here for demonstration purposes, it's not included in this interface
download(destination, new Callback() {
@Override
public void onDownloaded(Drawable d) {
drawable.setResult(d);
}
});
}
@Override
public void cancel(@NonNull String destination) {
// cancel download here
}
};
// `this` here referrs to a Context instance
final SpannableConfiguration configuration = SpannableConfiguration.builder(this)
.asyncDrawableLoader(loader)
.build();
```
There is also standalone artifact that supports image loading *out-of-box* (including support for **SVG** & **GIF**), but provides little to none configuration and could be somewhat not optimal. Please refer to the [README][mil-README] of the module.
## Tables
Tables are supported but with some limitations. First of all: table will always take the full width of the TextView Canvas. Second: each column will have the same width (we do not calculate the weight of column) - so, a column width will be: `totalWidth / columnsNumber`.
## Syntax highlight
This library does not provide ready-to-be-used implementation of syntax highlight, but it can be easily added via `SyntaxHighlight` interface whilst building `SpannableConfiguration`:
```java
final SyntaxHighlight syntaxHighlight = new SyntaxHighlight() {
@NonNull
@Override
public CharSequence highlight(@Nullable String info, @NonNull String code) {
// create Spanned of highlight here
return null; // must not return `null` here
}
};
final SpannableConfiguration configuration = SpannableConfiguration.builder(this)
.syntaxHighlight(syntaxHighlight)
.build();
```
## Url processing
If you wish to process urls (links & images) that markdown contains, the `UrlProcessor` can be used:
```java
final UrlProcessor urlProcessor = new UrlProcessor() {
@NonNull
@Override
public String process(@NonNull String destination) {
// modify the `destination` or return as-is
return null;
}
};
final SpannableConfiguration configuration = SpannableConfiguration.builder(this)
.urlProcessor(urlProcessor)
.build();
```
The primary goal of additing this abstraction is to give ability to convert relative urls to absolute ones. If it fits your purpose, then `UrlProcessorRelativeToAbsolute` can be used:
```java
final UrlProcessor urlProcessor = new UrlProcessorRelativeToAbsolute("https://this-is-base.org");
```
