===========
|
||
|
|
||
|
Blackfriday is a [Markdown][1] processor implemented in [Go][2]. It
|
||
|
is paranoid about its input (so you can safely feed it user-supplied
|
||
|
data), it is fast, it supports common extensions (tables, smart
|
||
|
punctuation substitutions, etc.), and it is safe for all utf-8
|
||
|
(unicode) input.
|
||
|
|
||
|
HTML output is currently supported, along with Smartypants
|
||
|
extensions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It started as a translation from C of [Sundown][3].
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Installation
|
||
|
------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Blackfriday is compatible with modern Go releases in module mode.
|
||
|
With Go installed:
|
||
|
|
||
|
go get github.com/russross/blackfriday/v2
|
||
|
|
||
|
will resolve and add the package to the current development module,
|
||
|
then build and install it. Alternatively, you can achieve the same
|
||
|
if you import it in a package:
|
||
|
|
||
|
import "github.com/russross/blackfriday/v2"
|
||
|
|
||
|
and `go get` without parameters.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Legacy GOPATH mode is unsupported.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Versions
|
||
|
--------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Currently maintained and recommended version of Blackfriday is `v2`. It's being
|
||
|
developed on its own branch: https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/tree/v2 and the
|
||
|
documentation is available at
|
||
|
https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/russross/blackfriday/v2.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It is `go get`-able in module mode at `github.com/russross/blackfriday/v2`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Version 2 offers a number of improvements over v1:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Cleaned up API
|
||
|
* A separate call to [`Parse`][4], which produces an abstract syntax tree for
|
||
|
the document
|
||
|
* Latest bug fixes
|
||
|
* Flexibility to easily add your own rendering extensions
|
||
|
|
||
|
Potential drawbacks:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* Our benchmarks show v2 to be slightly slower than v1. Currently in the
|
||
|
ballpark of around 15%.
|
||
|
* API breakage. If you can't afford modifying your code to adhere to the new API
|
||
|
and don't care too much about the new features, v2 is probably not for you.
|
||
|
* Several bug fixes are trailing behind and still need to be forward-ported to
|
||
|
v2. See issue [#348](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday/issues/348) for
|
||
|
tracking.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you are still interested in the legacy `v1`, you can import it from
|
||
|
`github.com/russross/blackfriday`. Documentation for the legacy v1 can be found
|
||
|
here: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/russross/blackfriday.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Usage
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
|
||
|
For the most sensible markdown processing, it is as simple as getting your input
|
||
|
into a byte slice and calling:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
output := blackfriday.Run(input)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Your input will be parsed and the output rendered with a set of most popular
|
||
|
extensions enabled. If you want the most basic feature set, corresponding with
|
||
|
the bare Markdown specification, use:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
output := blackfriday.Run(input, blackfriday.WithNoExtensions())
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Sanitize untrusted content
|
||
|
|
||
|
Blackfriday itself does nothing to protect against malicious content. If you are
|
||
|
dealing with user-supplied markdown, we recommend running Blackfriday's output
|
||
|
through HTML sanitizer such as [Bluemonday][5].
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here's an example of simple usage of Blackfriday together with Bluemonday:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
import (
|
||
|
"github.com/microcosm-cc/bluemonday"
|
||
|
"github.com/russross/blackfriday/v2"
|
||
|
)
|
||
|
|
||
|
// ...
|
||
|
unsafe := blackfriday.Run(input)
|
||
|
html := bluemonday.UGCPolicy().SanitizeBytes(unsafe)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Custom options
|
||
|
|
||
|
If you want to customize the set of options, use `blackfriday.WithExtensions`,
|
||
|
`blackfriday.WithRenderer` and `blackfriday.WithRefOverride`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### `blackfriday-tool`
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can also check out `blackfriday-tool` for a more complete example
|
||
|
of how to use it. Download and install it using:
|
||
|
|
||
|
go get github.com/russross/blackfriday-tool
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a simple command-line tool that allows you to process a
|
||
|
markdown file using a standalone program. You can also browse the
|
||
|
source directly on github if you are just looking for some example
|
||
|
code:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* <https://github.com/russross/blackfriday-tool>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that if you have not already done so, installing
|
||
|
`blackfriday-tool` will be sufficient to download and install
|
||
|
blackfriday in addition to the tool itself. The tool binary will be
|
||
|
installed in `$GOPATH/bin`. This is a statically-linked binary that
|
||
|
can be copied to wherever you need it without worrying about
|
||
|
dependencies and library versions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
### Sanitized anchor names
|
||
|
|
||
|
Blackfriday includes an algorithm for creating sanitized anchor names
|
||
|
corresponding to a given input text. This algorithm is used to create
|
||
|
anchors for headings when `AutoHeadingIDs` extension is enabled. The
|
||
|
algorithm has a specification, so that other packages can create
|
||
|
compatible anchor names and links to those anchors.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The specification is located at https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/russross/blackfriday/v2#hdr-Sanitized_Anchor_Names.
|
||
|
|
||
|
[`SanitizedAnchorName`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/russross/blackfriday/v2#SanitizedAnchorName) exposes this functionality, and can be used to
|
||
|
create compatible links to the anchor names generated by blackfriday.
|
||
|
This algorithm is also implemented in a small standalone package at
|
||
|
[`github.com/shurcooL/sanitized_anchor_name`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/shurcooL/sanitized_anchor_name). It can be useful for clients
|
||
|
that want a small package and don't need full functionality of blackfriday.

|
Features
|
||
|
--------
|
||
|
|
||
|
All features of Sundown are supported, including:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Compatibility**. The Markdown v1.0.3 test suite passes with
|
||
|
the `--tidy` option. Without `--tidy`, the differences are
|
||
|
mostly in whitespace and entity escaping, where blackfriday is
|
||
|
more consistent and cleaner.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Common extensions**, including table support, fenced code
|
||
|
blocks, autolinks, strikethroughs, non-strict emphasis, etc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Safety**. Blackfriday is paranoid when parsing, making it safe
|
||
|
to feed untrusted user input without fear of bad things
|
||
|
happening. The test suite stress tests this and there are no
|
||
|
known inputs that make it crash. If you find one, please let me
|
||
|
know and send me the input that does it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
NOTE: "safety" in this context means *runtime safety only*. In order to
|
||
|
protect yourself against JavaScript injection in untrusted content, see
|
||
|
[this example](https://github.com/russross/blackfriday#sanitize-untrusted-content).
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Fast processing**. It is fast enough to render on-demand in
|
||
|
most web applications without having to cache the output.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Thread safety**. You can run multiple parsers in different
|
||
|
goroutines without ill effect. There is no dependence on global
|
||
|
shared state.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Minimal dependencies**. Blackfriday only depends on standard
|
||
|
library packages in Go. The source code is pretty
|
||
|
self-contained, so it is easy to add to any project, including
|
||
|
Google App Engine projects.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Standards compliant**. Output successfully validates using the
|
||
|
W3C validation tool for HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Extensions
|
||
|
----------
|
||
|
|
||
|
In addition to the standard markdown syntax, this package
|
||
|
implements the following extensions:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Intra-word emphasis supression**. The `_` character is
|
||
|
commonly used inside words when discussing code, so having
|
||
|
markdown interpret it as an emphasis command is usually the
|
||
|
wrong thing. Blackfriday lets you treat all emphasis markers as
|
||
|
normal characters when they occur inside a word.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Tables**. Tables can be created by drawing them in the input
|
||
|
using a simple syntax:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
Name | Age
|
||
|
--------|------
|
||
|
Bob | 27
|
||
|
Alice | 23
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Fenced code blocks**. In addition to the normal 4-space
|
||
|
indentation to mark code blocks, you can explicitly mark them
|
||
|
and supply a language (to make syntax highlighting simple). Just
|
||
|
mark it like this:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
func getTrue() bool {
|
||
|
return true
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
You can use 3 or more backticks to mark the beginning of the
|
||
|
block, and the same number to mark the end of the block.
|
||
|
|
||
|
To preserve classes of fenced code blocks while using the bluemonday
|
||
|
HTML sanitizer, use the following policy:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
p := bluemonday.UGCPolicy()
|
||
|
p.AllowAttrs("class").Matching(regexp.MustCompile("^language-[a-zA-Z0-9]+$")).OnElements("code")
|
||
|
html := p.SanitizeBytes(unsafe)
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Definition lists**. A simple definition list is made of a single-line
|
||
|
term followed by a colon and the definition for that term.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Cat
|
||
|
: Fluffy animal everyone likes
|
||
|
|
||
|
Internet
|
||
|
: Vector of transmission for pictures of cats
|
||
|
|
||
|
Terms must be separated from the previous definition by a blank line.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Footnotes**. A marker in the text that will become a superscript number;
|
||
|
a footnote definition that will be placed in a list of footnotes at the
|
||
|
end of the document. A footnote looks like this:
|
||
|
|
||
|
This is a footnote.[^1]
|
||
|
|
||
|
[^1]: the footnote text.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Autolinking**. Blackfriday can find URLs that have not been
|
||
|
explicitly marked as links and turn them into links.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Strikethrough**. Use two tildes (`~~`) to mark text that
|
||
|
should be crossed out.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Hard line breaks**. With this extension enabled newlines in the input
|
||
|
translate into line breaks in the output. This extension is off by default.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Smart quotes**. Smartypants-style punctuation substitution is
|
||
|
supported, turning normal double- and single-quote marks into
|
||
|
curly quotes, etc.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **LaTeX-style dash parsing** is an additional option, where `--`
|
||
|
is translated into `–`, and `---` is translated into
|
||
|
`—`. This differs from most smartypants processors, which
|
||
|
turn a single hyphen into an ndash and a double hyphen into an
|
||
|
mdash.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* **Smart fractions**, where anything that looks like a fraction
|
||
|
is translated into suitable HTML (instead of just a few special
|
||
|
cases like most smartypant processors). For example, `4/5`
|
||
|
becomes `<sup>4</sup>⁄<sub>5</sub>`, which renders as
|
||
|
<sup>4</sup>⁄<sub>5</sub>.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Other renderers
|
||
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Blackfriday is structured to allow alternative rendering engines. Here
|
||
|
are a few of note:
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [github_flavored_markdown](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/shurcooL/github_flavored_markdown):
|
||
|
provides a GitHub Flavored Markdown renderer with fenced code block
|
||
|
highlighting, clickable heading anchor links.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It's not customizable, and its goal is to produce HTML output
|
||
|
equivalent to the [GitHub Markdown API endpoint](https://developer.github.com/v3/markdown/#render-a-markdown-document-in-raw-mode),
|
||
|
except the rendering is performed locally.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [markdownfmt](https://github.com/shurcooL/markdownfmt): like gofmt,
|
||
|
but for markdown.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [LaTeX output](https://gitlab.com/ambrevar/blackfriday-latex):
|
||
|
renders output as LaTeX.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [bfchroma](https://github.com/Depado/bfchroma/): provides convenience
|
||
|
integration with the [Chroma](https://github.com/alecthomas/chroma) code
|
||
|
highlighting library. bfchroma is only compatible with v2 of Blackfriday and
|
||
|
provides a drop-in renderer ready to use with Blackfriday, as well as
|
||
|
options and means for further customization.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [Blackfriday-Confluence](https://github.com/kentaro-m/blackfriday-confluence): provides a [Confluence Wiki Markup](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-wiki-markup-251003035.html) renderer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [Blackfriday-Slack](https://github.com/karriereat/blackfriday-slack): converts markdown to slack message style
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
TODO
|
||
|
----
|
||
|
|
||
|
* More unit testing
|
||
|
* Improve Unicode support. It does not understand all Unicode
|
||
|
rules (about what constitutes a letter, a punctuation symbol,
|
||
|
etc.), so it may fail to detect word boundaries correctly in
|
||
|
some instances. It is safe on all UTF-8 input.
