lowdown_gemini_rndr — render Markdown into gemini
Contents
Description
Renders a node tree n created by lowdown_doc_parse(3) or lowdown_diff(3) using the gemini renderer arg as
returned by lowdown_gemini_new(3). The output is written into out, which must be initialised and freed
by the caller.
The caller is expected to have invoked setlocale(3) to a "UTF-8" character encoding prior to using this
function, otherwise UTF-8 sequences will not be properly recognised. This is used when formatting table
column widths.
Examples
The following parses b of length bsz and outputs in Gemini format.
struct lowdown_buf *out;
struct lowdown_doc *doc;
struct lowdown_node *n;
void *rndr;
if (setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "en_US.UTF-8") == NULL)
err(1, NULL);
if ((doc = lowdown_doc_new(NULL)) == NULL)
err(1, NULL);
if ((n = lowdown_doc_parse(doc, NULL, b, bsz, NULL)) == NULL)
err(1, NULL);
if ((out = lowdown_buf_new(256)) == NULL)
err(1, NULL);
if ((rndr = lowdown_gemini_new(NULL)) == NULL)
err(1, NULL);
if (!lowdown_gemini_rndr(out, rndr, n))
err(1, NULL);
fwrite(out->data, 1, out->size, stdout);
lowdown_gemini_free(rndr);
lowdown_buf_free(out);
lowdown_node_free(n);
lowdown_doc_free(doc);
