How to remove things like CodeBlocks from ToPlainText rendering

[xoofx]

Is there an extension point I missed, in which I can remove code blocks from the PlainText view?

Not that I'm aware, but you can just take the Markdown AST, search/remove the code blocks, and call PlainText later.

In my own blog post engine, I do it differently, convert to HTML, and extract the text from there with NUglify here

I don't see an equivalent ToText as an extension

markdig/src/Markdig/Markdown.cs

Line 136 in 8e22754

public static void ToHtml(this MarkdownDocument document, TextWriter writer, MarkdownPipeline? pipeline = null)

So based on

markdig/src/Markdig/Markdown.cs

Line 240 in 8e22754

public static MarkdownDocument ToPlainText(string markdown, TextWriter writer, MarkdownPipeline? pipeline = null, MarkdownParserContext? context = null)

I think I need to do something like this

            StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
            MarkdownDocument document = Markdown.Parse(source, pipeline);
            // todo remove codeblocks from Document.Decendants
            HtmlRenderer renderer = new HtmlRenderer(writer)
            {
                EnableHtmlForBlock = false,
                EnableHtmlForInline = false,
                EnableHtmlEscape = false,
            };
            pipeline.Setup(renderer);

            renderer.Render(document);
            writer.Flush();
            string result = writer.ToString();
            return result;
