HTML support

[lauridskern]

Is it possible to add HTML parsing?

@lauridskern No, its not. Marked doesn't support it.

You could try converting the HTML to Markdown using Turndown and domino.

import TurndownService from "turndown";
import Domino from "domino";

TurndownService.prototype.escape = (string) => {
	// Disables string escaping
	// ref: https://github.com/mixmark-io/turndown#overriding-turndownserviceprototypeescape
	return string;
};

const turndownService = new TurndownService();

export const preProcessMd = (md: string) => {
	// Check if markdown contains html tags, if found transform them to markdown
	// This function has caveat, it'll return true if a codeblock contains some html
	if (/<\/?[a-z][\s\S]*>/gim.test(md)) {
		const mdWithBR = md.replace(/(?:\r\n|\r|\n)/gm, "<br/>"); // to preserve new lines
		const document = Domino.createDocument(mdWithBR, true);
		return turndownService
			.turndown(document)
			.trim()
			.replace(/[^\S\r\n]+$/gm, ""); // Replaces " \n" with "\n", side effect of conversion 
	}
};

I'll see how it can be integrated with the library.
