Using Markdown

The Markdown component allows adding markdown formatted text to a web page.

The component uses Python-Markdown and is only available if Python-Markdown is installed.

The component has three attributes:

• markdown - The markdown annotated text
• extensions - A list of extensions to use
• all_extensions - A boolean value that defaults to True in which case all extensions included with Python-Markdown are used. If extensions is not empty, its value is used instead of all extensions

WebPage write Method

You can use the write method to put markdown directly on a page. The method accepts one argument, a markdown formatted string. The method returns the component that is added to the page.

import justpy as jp


def add_item_to_list(self, msg):
    wp = msg.page
    wp.list_item_num += 1
    wp.md.markdown = f'{wp.md.markdown}\n* *Item* **{wp.list_item_num}**'


def md_test():
    wp = jp.WebPage()
    jp.Button(text='Add Item to List', classes=jp.Styles.button_bordered + ' m-4 p-2', click=add_item_to_list, a=wp)
    wp.md = jp.Markdown(markdown='# My List', a=wp, classes='m-2')
    wp.list_item_num = 0
    return wp


@jp.SetRoute('/hello')
def md_write_test():
    wp = jp.WebPage()
    wp.write('# Hello world!')
    return wp


jp.justpy(md_test)
