markdownmaker

markdownmaker is an easy-to-use minimal library to generate a Markdown document with a Python API. Actually, this document you are reading right now was generated with markdownmaker for demonstration purposes (source). Currently it uses Github Flavored Markdown but more flavors might follow.

This library was developed to aid with generating a reference for Armory3D's logic nodes, thus its feature scope is rather small and the output might have some bugs when creating complex documents. If you encounter problems, please open an issue.

Installation

markdownmaker is installed via pip:

pip install markdownmaker

Usage (API)

Import the following:

from markdownmaker.document import Document
from markdownmaker.markdownmaker import *

Then, create a document:

doc = Document()

After you finished creating the document, doc.write() returns the Markdown source code.

Emphasis

doc.add(Paragraph(Italic("This text will be italic!")))
doc.add(Paragraph(Bold("This text will be bold!")))

doc.add(Paragraph(f"You can also combine {Bold(Italic('bold and italic text!'))}"))

This text will be italic!

This text will be bold!

You can also combine bold and italic text!

Headers

doc.add(Header("This is a header"))
with HeaderSubLevel(doc):
    doc.add(Header("This is a sub-header"))
    with HeaderSubLevel(doc):
        doc.add(Header("This is a sub-sub-header"))

Lists

    "Item 1", 
    "Item 2", 
    UnorderedList((

        Italic("Sub-item B"))),
