Text.Gemini.Markdown

A tiny Gemtext to Markdown converter for gemmula.

Encodes parsed Gemtext documents and lines as Markdown Text. Follows the CommonMark specification.

Encoding documents

encode :: GemDocument -> Text

Encode parsed GemDocument as a Markdown file. The output Text uses LF-endings. Uses the prettyItem function below.

Valid Markdown characters are escaped before encoding.

The adjacent links are grouped together in a paragraph to make them look pretty.

Empty GemTexts and GemLists are ignored.

Encoding single items

prettyItem :: GemItem -> Text

Encode a single parsed GemItem as Markdown text. The output Text uses LF-endings and might be multiple lines.

Valid Markdown characters are escaped before encoding.

Unlike encodeItem, long lines (> 80) will be split to multiple lines to make it look prettier. The link items are also put in a seperate line to make them look nice.

Beware that the output text doesn't end with a newline.

encodeItem :: GemItem -> Text

Rewriting links

rewriteLink :: GemItem -> GemItem

Rewrite .gmi links as .md links.

Beware that this only applies to local GemLinks. For rewriting non-local links as http, see webifyLink.
