Lua Requires Chilkat v11.2.0+

Markdown to HTML - Full Document, Default

See more Markdown Examples

Demonstrates how to convert a complete Markdown document to HTML using no specified theme. This is the default when the JSON options is empty. Unlike the raw theme, the default produces a full HTML document including:

• Document Type Declaration (e.g. <!DOCTYPE html>)
• Root Element (e.g., <html> )
• Head Section
• Enclosing <body> and </body> elements
• Closing </html> element

Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- Leaving the options empty produces a full HTML document.
local options = chilkat.JsonObject.new()

local sbMarkdown = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()
local sbHtml = chilkat.StringBuilder.new()

local success = sbMarkdown:load_file("qa_data/markdown/test1.md", "utf-8")
if not success then
    print(sbMarkdown.last_error_text)
    return
end

sbMarkdown:markdown_to_html(options, sbHtml)
sbHtml:to_crlf()

print(sbHtml:get_as_string())

-- The sample markdown input for this example is identical to the one at Markdown to HTML - Full Document, Raw, where you can view it.
