markdown-addcode

A Python Markdown extension to add blockcode from an existing file containing the code.

All you have to do is to add a tag like {% addcode file.py %} in your markdown file and the code will be automatically added into a blockcode.

Installation

Just drop it in the extensions folder of the markdown package: markdown/extensions

Example

Let's say you have a script.py file with the following lines :

from markdown.extensions import Extension
from markdown.preprocessors import Preprocessor

class AddCodePreprocessor(Preprocessor):
  blablabla...

Now add to your text.markdown file the following line :

{% addcode script.py %}

And the content of script.py will be added as a blockcode in text.html

How to run the unit tests

• Install Markdown: pip install markdown
• Install markdown addcode. Copy the addcode.py file into site-packages/markdown/extensions/
• Navigate to the test directory in CMD/terminal and run markdown_py -x addcode myfile.markdown > output.html
