maddy is a C++ Markdown to HTML **header-only** parser library.
## Supported OS
It actually should work on any OS, that supports the C++14 standard library.
It is tested to work on:
* Linux (without exceptions and without RTTI)
## Dependencies
* C++14
## Why maddy?
When I was needing a Markdown parser in C++ I couldn't find any, that was
fitting my needs. So I simply wrote my own one.
## Markdown syntax
The supported syntax can be found in the [definitions docs](docs/definitions.md).
## How to use
To use maddy in your project, simply add the include path of maddy to yours
and in the code, you can then do the following:
```c++
#include <memory>
#include <string>
#include "maddy/parser.h"
std::stringstream markdownInput("");
std::shared_ptr<maddy::Parser> parser = std::make_shared<maddy::Parser>();
std::string htmlOutput = parser->Parse(markdownInput);
```
## How to run the tests
*(tested on Linux with
[git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) and
[cmake](https://cmake.org/install/) installed)*
Open your preferred terminal and type:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/progsource/maddy.git
cd maddy
git submodule update --init --recursive
mkdir tmp
cd tmp
cmake ..
make
make test # or run the executable in ../build/MaddyTests
```
## How to contribute
There are different possibilities:
* Create a GitHub issue
* Create a pull request with an own branch (don't forget to put yourself in the
AUTHORS file)
