Marked: Surpress wrapping in <p> tag.

[stockholmux]

Sometimes I want to write a fragment of markdown and just inject it into template. For example [Email Example](mailto:[email protected]). Marked seems to always wrap it in a <p> tag. Is there an existing way to suppress this behaviour? It makes sense if there is no new line character in the string - like this: marked('[Email Example](mailto:[email protected])'). I've tried different options (gfm, breaks) but they don't seem to affect this.

Just skip the block-lexing part:

html = marked.inlineLexer(markdown, [], options);

e.g.:

> marked = require('marked');
> marked.inlineLexer('[Email Example](mailto:[email protected])', [])
'<a href="mailto:[email protected]">Email Example</a>'

Excellent. IMHO it would be good to have that in the docs. Maybe it's not that common though.

Can we disable the wrapping of <p>?

[Rugal]

Just notice we can disable wrapping with <p> by overriding

Renderer.prototype.paragraph = function(text) {
  return text + '\n';
};

Just noticed we can disable wrapping with <p> by overriding Renderer.prototype.paragraph

@Rugal, Won't that override every single paragraph tag? Or will it just override the initial paragraph wrap?

[Rugal]

@radiovisual That will override every single paragraph tag.

Here's what worked for me (many years later). It assumes that you know what elements you don't want to wrap in paragraph tags.

const marked = require("marked");

// Every new line in markdown is considered a new paragraph, this prevents
// img tags from being wrapped in <p> tags which is helpful for resizing img's, 
// centering captions, etc.
marked.Renderer.prototype.paragraph = (text) => {
  if (text.startsWith("<img")) {
    return text + "\n";
  }
  return "<p>" + text + "</p>";
};

html = marked(markdownFile.body)
