Markde...:GitHub(3pm)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Markdent::Dialect::GitHub — bestie, it's the Markdown extensions that GitHub implemented, wrapped up all cute in a Perl module 💖

It lives in the 3pm section of the manual, iykyk.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the whole vibe, literally just this:

use Markdent::Parser;

my $parser = Markdent::Parser->new( dialect => 'GitHub', handler => ... );

That's it. That's the whole thing. Slay. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the GitHub roles (they're called roles, don't ask) add parsing for some of the Markdown extensions used on GitHub. If you wanna read the actual details from the source of truth, it's over at http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/ — go look, no cap 🌈

🎀 DEVIATIONS 🎀

ngl, this dialect is not a perfect clone of what GitHub does. It differs in a few ways, and we're gonna be honest about them:

• It doesn't yet implement the newline handling that GitHub specifies. 😭 (yet! the "yet" is doing a lot of work here)
• It does not implement the GitHub specific auto-linking for SHAs, users, or projects. And listen — this is intentional. Not a bug. On purpose. Periodt. 💀

🧚 IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS 🧚

okay this part is kinda iconic actually. When the start of a fenced code block includes a language indicator (like ```perl), the HTML output will include that language as part of a class name on the <code> tag, like so:

<pre><code class="language-perl">...</code></pre>

the way it just knows the language and slaps it in the class... obsessed 🫶
