CommonMark
A Swift package for working with CommonMark text. It's built on top of libcmark and fully compliant with the CommonMark Spec.
Usage
import CommonMark
let markdown = #"""
# [Universal Declaration of Human Rights][udhr]
## Article 1.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
They are endowed with reason and conscience
and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
[udhr]: https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/ "View full version"
"""#
let document = try Document(markdown)
Inspecting Document Nodes
document.children.count // 3
let heading = document.children[0] as! Heading
heading.headerLevel // 1
heading.children.count // 1
let link = heading.children[0] as! Link
link.urlString // "https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/")
link.title // "View full version"
let subheading = document.children[1] as! Heading
subheading.headerLevel // 2
subheading.children.count // 1
let subheadingText = subheading.children[0] as! Text
subheadingText.literal // "Article 1."
let paragraph = document.children[2] as! Paragraph
paragraph.description // "All human beings [ ... ]"
paragraph.range.lowerBound // (line: 5, column: 1)
paragraph.range.upperBound // (line: 7, column: 62)
Rendering to HTML, XML, LaTeX, and Manpage
let html = document.render(format: .html) // <h1> [ ... ]
let xml = document.render(format: .xml) // <?xml [ ... ]
let latex = document.render(format: .latex) // \section{ [ ... ]
let manpage = document.render(format: .manpage) // .SH [ ... ]
// To get back CommonMark text,
// you can either render with the `.commonmark` format...
document.render(format: .commonmark) // # [Universal [ ... ]
// ...or call `description`
// (individual nodes also return their CommonMark representation as their description)
document.description // # [Universal [ ... ]
Creating Documents From Scratch
Using Result Builders
In Swift 5.4 and later,
you can create CommonMark documents using @resultBuilder
initializers.
import CommonMark
let document = Document {
Heading {
Link(urlString: "https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/",
title: "View full version")
{
"Universal Declaration of Human Rights"
}
}
Section { // sections increase the level of contained headings
Heading { "Article 1." } // this is a second-level heading
}
// block-level strings are parsed as CommonMark literals
"""
**All** human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
They are endowed with reason and conscience
and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
"""
}
Using the Conventional Approach
The following code produces the same result as the preceding example, using conventional Swift initializers.
let link = Link(urlString: "https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/",
title: "View full version",
text: "Universal Declaration of Human Rights")
let heading = Heading(level: 1, children: [link])
let subheading = Heading(level: 2, text: "Article 1.")
let paragraph = Paragraph(children: #"""
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
They are endowed with reason and conscience
and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
"""#.split(separator: "\n")
.flatMap { [Text(String($0)), SoftLineBreak()] })
Document(children: [heading, subheading, paragraph]).description == document.description // true
