MD4C stands for "Markdown for C" and that's exactly what this project
|
|
is about.
|
|
|
|
MD4C is Markdown parser implementation in C, with the following
|
|
features:
|
|
|
|
*Compliance: Generally, MD4C aims to be compliant to the latest
|
|
version of CommonMark specification. Currently, we are fully compliant
|
|
to CommonMark 0.30.
|
|
|
|
*Extensions: MD4C supports some commonly requested and accepted
|
|
extensions. See below.
|
|
|
|
*Performance: MD4C is very fast.
|
|
|
|
*Compactness: MD4C parser is implemented in one source file and
|
|
one header file. There are no dependencies other than standard C
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
*Embedding: MD4C parser is easy to reuse in other projects, its
|
|
API is very straightforward: There is actually just one function,
|
|
md_parse().
|
|
|
|
*Push model: MD4C parses the complete document and calls few
|
|
callback functions provided by the application to inform it about a
|
|
start/end of every block, a start/end of every span, and with any
|
|
textual contents.
|
|
|
|
*Portability: MD4C builds and works on Windows and
|
|
POSIX-compliant OSes. (It should be simple to make it run also on
|
|
most other platforms, at least as long as the platform provides C
|
|
standard library, including a heap memory management.)
|
|
|
|
*Encoding: MD4C by default expects UTF-8 encoding of the input
|
|
document. But it can be compiled to recognize ASCII-only control
|
|
characters (i.e. to disable all Unicode-specific code), or (on
|
|
Windows) to expect UTF-16 (i.e. what is on Windows commonly called
|
|
just "Unicode"). See more details below.
|
|
|
|
*Permissive license: MD4C is available under the MIT license.
