Markdown

Overview

Markdown takes markdown as input and displays it as HTML. This element uses the marked.js library to convert the markdown to HTML.

# Heading Level 1 ## Heading Level 2 This is a paragraph with [a link](https://patternflyelements.org).

Installation

npm install @patternfly/pfe-markdown

Usage

<pfe-markdown>
  <div pfe-markdown-container># Heading Level 1
## Heading Level 2
This is a paragraph with [a link](https://patternflyelements.org).</div>
</pfe-markdown>

It is important that the div with the pfe-markdown-container attribute is present. Without it, the element won't work. This element does not actually use the shadow DOM to display it's contents.

At runtime, a child div with an attribute of pfe-markdown-render is appended to the light DOM and the pfe-markdown-container div is hidden with an inline style. The purpose behind this is so that all of the styles that are present in the light DOM are available to the converted markdown.

Slots

There is a default slot but it is just used to capture the light DOM and hide it.
