A small Clojure library for converting CommonMark markdown to clj-pdf syntax.
At least for now, this library relies on top of commonmark-java which is a java-based markdown parser.
This is alpha software. Possible breaking changes can be expected. Feel free to contribute!
Note that clj-pdf-markdown is built for configurability, not performance.
Add the following dependency to project.clj:
You can convert a markdown string to clj-pdf format using markdown->clj-pdf:
user=> (require '[clj-pdf-markdown.core :refer [markdown->clj-pdf]])
nil
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf "This is a *test*.")
[:paragraph {} "This is a " [:phrase {:style :italic} "test"] "."]You can pass a map of pdf custom args the converter to tweak the output.
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {:paragraph {:align :center}} "This is a *test*.")
[:paragraph {:align :center} "This is a " [:phrase {:style :italic} "test"] "."]Any custom map provided will the merged to following the default map used by the library:
(def pdf-default-args
{:anchor {}
:heading {:h1 {:style {:size 16}}
:h2 {:style {:size 15}}
:h3 {:style {:size 14}}
:h4 {:style {:size 13}}
:h5 {:style {:size 12}}
:h6 {:style {:size 11}}}
:image {}
:line {}
:list {:ol {:numbered true}
:ul {:symbol "• "}}
:paragraph {}
:spacer {:allow-extra-line-breaks? true
:single-value 0
:extra-starting-value 0}
:wrap {:unwrap-singleton? true
:global-wrapper :vector ;; :paragraph or :vector
}})user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "[I'm a single link](https://www.google.com)")
[:anchor {:target "https://www.google.com"} "I'm a single link"]Note that any title arg in markdown will be ignored, since it is not supported in clj-pdf:
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "[I'm a single link with title](https://www.google.com \"Google's Homepage\")")
[:anchor {:target "https://www.google.com"} "I'm a single link with title"]When not alone, the anchor will be wrapped in paragraph.
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "Text followed by: [a link](https://www.google.com)")
[:paragraph {}
"Text followed by: "
[:anchor {:target "https://www.google.com"}
"a link"]]
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "[link 1](https://www.google.com)[link 2](https://www.yahoo.com)")
[:paragraph {}
[:anchor {:target "https://www.google.com"} "link 1"]
[:anchor {:target "https://www.yahoo.com"} "link 2"]]user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "# Title _1_")
[:heading {:style {:size 16}} "Title " [:phrase {:style :italic} "1"]]
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "## Sub-title _1_")
[:heading {:style {:size 5}} "Sub-title " [:phrase {:style :italic} "1"]]To change pdf args, you must specify which level of heading it is, from :h1 to :h6:
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {:heading {:h2 {:style {:size 20}}}} "## Title _Big_")
[:heading {:style {:size 20}} "Title " [:phrase {:style :italic} "Big"]]user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "![alt text](https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/raw/master/src/common/images/icon48.png \"Logo Title Text 1\")")
[:image {:annotation ["Logo Title Text 1" "alt text"]} "https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/raw/master/src/common/images/icon48.png"]Images can also be inserted inline with other text by wrapping it inside of a chunk element.
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "This is an image: ![alt text](http://via.placeholder.com/350x150 \"Logo Title Text 1\")")
[[:paragraph {} "Text before"]
[:line {}]
[:paragraph {} "text after"]]Also, chunk will be added if x and y values are provided in image sub-map. These are relative offsets for the image. The image element itself still accepts it's normal properties shown above.
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {:image {:x 10 :y 10}} "![alt text](http://via.placeholder.com/350x150 \"Logo Title Text 1\")")
[:chunk {:x 10 :y 10} [:image {:annotation ["Logo Title Text 1" "alt text"]} "http://via.placeholder.com/350x150"]]
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "Text before
#_=> ***
#_=> text after")
[[:paragraph {} "Text before"] [:line {}] [:paragraph {} "text after"]]When :pagebreak is provided a :line arg value, this will provide a [:pagebreak] instead of a line!
(markdown->clj-pdf {:line :pagebreak} "Text before
#_=> ***
#_=> Text after")
[[:paragraph {} "Text before"] [:pagebreak] [:paragraph {} "Text after"]]Markdown supports two king of lists, ordered lists (:ol) and unordered lists (:ul).
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "* List item one
#_=> * List item two")
[:list {:symbol "• "} "List item one" "List item two"]
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "1. This is the first item
#_=> 2. This is the second item")
[:list {:numbered true} "This is the first item" "This is the second item"]If you want to customize lists, you must specify the right intermediate key like so:
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {:list {:ul {:symbol "* "}}} "* List item one
#_=> * List item two")
[:list {:symbol "* "} "List item one" "List item two"]
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {:list {:ol {:roman true}}} "1. This is the first item
#_=> 2. This is the second item")
[:list {:roman true} "This is the first item" "This is the second item"]By default, a string will be wraped in paragraph except if it is plain and alone.
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "This is simple text")
"This is simple text"
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "Content with some *style*.")
[:paragraph {} "Content with some " [:phrase {:style :italic} "style"] "."]Note that, you don't want to unwrap single strings, you can specify it:
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {:wrap {:unwrap-singleton? false} "This is simple text")
[[:paragraph {} "This is simple text"]]
When there is more than one element at the document level, it gets globally wrapped in a vector. Undercover, clj-pdf will expand sequences containing elements:
(clj-pdf.core/pdf
[{}
[[:paragraph "1"] [:paragraph "2"]]]
"doc.pdf")
is equivalent to
(clj-pdf.core/pdf
[{}
[:paragraph "1"]
[:paragraph "2"]]
"doc.pdf")
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "This is
#_=> a spacer.")
[:paragraph {} "This is" [:spacer 0] "a spacer."]
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {:spacer {:single-value 10}} "This is
#_=> a huge spacer")
[:paragraph {} "This is" [:spacer 10] "a huge spacer"]Note that if you break the line twice, you will get multiple paragraphs instead of spacers:
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {} "This is paragraph 1
#_=>
#_=> paragraph 2
#_=>
#_=> paragraph 3")
[[:paragraph {} "This is paragraph 1"] [:paragraph {} "paragraph 2"] [:paragraph {} "paragraph 3"]]Also, by default, clj-pdf-markdown render extra line-breaks (third+)
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {:spacer {:extra-starting-value 0 :allow-extra-line-breaks? true}}
"Text\n\n\nText after 3 line-breaks\n\n\n\n\nText after 5 line-breaks")
[[:paragraph {} "Text"]
[:paragraph {} [:spacer 0] "Text after 3 line-breaks"]
[:paragraph {} [:spacer 2] "Text after 5 line-breaks"]]
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {:spacer {:extra-starting-value 1 :allow-extra-line-breaks? true}}
"Text\n\n\nText after 3 line-breaks\n\n\n\n\nText after 5 line-breaks")
[[:paragraph {} "Text"]
[:paragraph {} [:spacer 1] "Text after 3 line-breaks"]
[:paragraph {} [:spacer 3] "Text after 5 line-breaks"]]Note that extra line-breaks can be disabled.
user=> (markdown->clj-pdf {:spacer {:extra-starting-value 1 :allow-extra-line-breaks? false}}
"Text\n\n\nText after 3 line-breaks\n\n\n\n\nText after 5 line-breaks")
[[:paragraph {} "Text"]
[:paragraph {} "Text after 3 line-breaks"]
[:paragraph {} "Text after 5 line-breaks"]]0.2.1 (May 29, 2018)

println(thanks to @svdm)
