Specify initial header level on HTML output

[nosammai]

Hi,

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm trying to parse some markdown and embed it as html inside of a page on my web application. This page already has a couple levels of Header tags, so I'd like for the headings inside the markdown to start at <h3> rather than <h1>. Is it possible to pass in an initial header level to the HTMLRenderer?

Thanks!

Hey! Not stupid at all, although it is going to be slightly more complicated than passing in a value. Something like this will do:

class MyRenderer(HTMLRenderer):
    def render_heading(self, token):
        template = '<h{level}>{inner}</h{level}>'
        inner = self.render_inner(token)
        return template.format(level=token.level+2, inner=inner)

... and you can use MyRenderer just like HTMLRenderer.

Let me know if you have more questions!
