// Versions: marked v0.6.2, prismjs v1.15.0 | |
let marked = require('marked'); | |
let prism = require('prismjs'); | |
let loadLanguages = require('prismjs/components/'); | |
loadLanguages(['javascript', 'jsx', 'css', 'markup', 'bash', 'json']); | |
marked.setOptions({ | |
highlight: function(code, lang) { | |
if (prism.languages[lang]) { | |
return prism.highlight(code, prism.languages[lang], lang); | |
} else { | |
return code; | |
} | |
} | |
}); | |
let someMarkdown = "```javascript\nlet x = 2;```"; | |
let html = marked.parse(someMarkdown) | |
For me at least, the example was not working because marked does not seem to recognize ```javascript\nlet x = 2;```
as a proper code block?
It only works for me with a line break before the closing "```
" : ```javascript\nlet x = 2;\n```
Leaving this in case someone else stumbles upon this
Thanks! it works!!
