ConciseMark (documentation)

ConciseMark is a simplified markdown parsing library written in Rust with customization, math supporting in mind. The simplified here means it only supports some common markdown syntax but not full.

Features

• Latex PDF Generation

  ConciseMark supports you to convert your markdown into xelatex source file, then you can compile it with xelatex command to generate a pretty PDF document.

  Note that to make the generated xelatex source compilable, you have to install the following fonts onto your system

  • Lora
  • Source Code Pro
  • Source Han Serif SC

• markdown meta

  You can put an optional html comment (whose body is in toml format) in the front of your markdown file

  <!---
  title = "Your title"
  subtitle = "Your subtitle"
  date = "2021-10-13 00:00:00"
  authors = ["name <example@gmail.com>"]
  tags = ["demo", "example"]
  -->
  

  This content will be parsed as your page meta, you can use it when rendering latex or html page.

• codeblock and inline codeblock

• heading
• list
• link
• image

• math (Math in HTML is supported by katex)

  Use one syntax such as $a^2 + b^2$ to write inline or display mode math equation.

• extension

  This is a ConciseMark extension, the format is

  @KEY{VALUE}
  

  It supports the following KEY

  • emoji

    @emoji{smile} will render to 😄.

  • kbd

    @kbd{cmd + f} will render to ⌘+f.

  This feature will be exposed to library user in future.
