The core of Marp converter.
In order to use on Marp tools, we have extended from the slide deck framework Marpit. You can use the practical Markdown syntax, advanced features, and official themes.
We provide Marp
class, that is inherited from Marpit.
import Marp from '@marp-team/marp-core'
// Convert Markdown slide deck into HTML and CSS
const marp = new Marp()
const { html, css } = marp.render('# Hello, marp-core!')
Marp
class has ready()
static method to work several features correctly. It must run on the browser context by using Browserify or webpack.
import Marp from '@marp-team/marp-core'
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
Marp.ready()
})
We also provide a separated bundle lib/browser.js
for browser context. It is useful when you cannot use bundler.
Loading lib/browser.js
will bring the almost same result as running Marp.ready()
. Thus, you could use it through CDN as below:
<html>
<body>
<!-- Please insert here rendered HTML by `Marp.render().html`... -->
<script defer src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@marp-team/marp-core/lib/browser.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
CommonJS bundle is also provided in lib/browser.cjs.js
. It have to call manually as same as Marp.ready()
.
We will only explain features extended in marp-core. Please refer to @marp-team/marpit repository if you want to know the basic feature of Marpit framework.
Marp Markdown is based on Marpit and CommonMark, and there are these additional features:
- Marpit
- Enable inline SVG mode and loose YAML parsing by default.
- CommonMark
- For security reason, HTML tag only allows whitelisted elements by default.
- Support table syntax based on GitHub Flavored Markdown.
- Line breaks in paragraph will convert to
<br>
tag. - Auto convert URL like text into hyperlink.
Emoji shortcode (like :smile:
) and Unicode emoji ๐ will convert into the SVG vector image provided by twemoji . It could render emoji with high resolution.
We have Pandoc's Markdown style math typesetting support by KaTeX. Surround your formula by $...$
to render math as inline, and $$...$$
to render as block.
Markdown | Rendered slide |
---|---|
Render inline math such as $ax^2+bc+c$.
$$ I_{xx}=\int\int_Ry^2f(x,y)\cdot{}dydx $$
$$
f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty
\hat f(\xi)\,e^{2 \pi i \xi x}
\,d\xi
$$ |
Auto scaling is available only if enabled Marpit's inlineSVG
mode. You have to run Marp.ready()
on browser context.
When the headings contains <!-- fit -->
comment, the size of headings will resize to fit onto the slide size.
# <!-- fit --> Fitting header
This syntax is similar to Deckset's [fit]
keyword, but we use HTML comment to hide a fit keyword on Markdown rendered as document.
We can scale-down the viewing size of math block (surrounded by $$
) to fit a slide automatically.
Traditional rendering | Auto scaling |
---|---|
Several themes also can scale-down the viewing size of the code block to fit a slide.
Traditional rendering | Auto scaling |
---|---|
These features means that the contents on a slide are not cropped, and not shown unnecessary scrollbars in code.
โน๏ธ
uncover
theme has disabled scaling for code block because we use elastic style that has not compatible with it.
โ ๏ธ We won't detect whether the math and code block actually protrudes from the slide. It might not work scaling correctly when there are many elements in a slide.
You can customize a behavior of Marp parser by passing an options object to the constructor. You can also pass together with Marpit constructor options.
โน๏ธ Marpit's
markdown
option is accepted only object options because of always using CommonMark.
const marp = new Marp({
// marp-core constructor options
html: true,
emoji: {
shortcode: true,
unicode: false,
twemojiBase: '/resources/twemoji/',
},
math: {
katexFontPath: '/resources/fonts/',
},
// It can be included Marpit constructor options
looseYAML: false,
markdown: {
breaks: false,
},
})
Setting whether to render raw HTML in Markdown.
true
: The all HTML will be allowed.false
: All HTML except supported in Marpit Markdown will be disallowed.- By passing
object
, you can set the whitelist to specify allowed tags and attributes.
// Specify tag name as key, and attributes to allow as string array.
{
a: ['href', 'target'],
br: [],
}
Marp core allows only <br>
tag by default, that is defined in Marp.html
.
Whatever any option is selected, <!-- HTML comment -->
is always parsed by Marpit for directives. When you are not disabled Marpit's inlineStyle
option by false
, <style>
tags are parsed too for tweaking theme style.
โน๏ธ
html
flag inmarkdown
option cannot use because of overridden by this.
Setting about emoji conversions.
-
shortcode
:boolean
|"twemoji"
-
unicode
:boolean
|"twemoji"
-
twemojiBase
:string
- It is corresponded to twemoji's
base
option. By default, marp-core will use online emoji images through MaxCDN (twemoji's default).
- It is corresponded to twemoji's
For developers: When you setting
unicode
option astrue
, Markdown parser will convert Unicode emoji into tokens internally. The rendering result is same as infalse
.
Enable or disable math typesetting syntax. The default value is true
.
You can modify KaTeX further settings by passing an object of sub-options.
-
katexOption
:object
- The options passing to KaTeX. Please refer to KaTeX document.
-
katexFontPath
:string
|false
- By default, marp-core will use online web-font resources through jsDelivr CDN. You have to set path to fonts directory if you want to use local resources. If you set
false
, we will not manipulate the path (Use KaTeX's original path:fonts/KaTeX_***-***.woff2
).
