#Lead Trail Extension

Extension for Python Markdown library, adding extra classes name to the first and last element in the document to be used for setting alignments.

Install

pip install git+https://github.com/hdra/mdx-lead-trail

Or do it your way with the source.

Usage

>>> import markdown
>>> import mdx_lead_trail
>>> src = """
... Hello, World!! This is paragraph #1
... 
... This is paragraph #2
... 
... Goodbye, World! This is the last paragraph. """.strip()
>>> ext = mdx_lead_trail.LeadTrailExtension()
>>> html = markdown.markdown(src, extensions=[ext])
>>> print(html)
<p class="leader">Hello, World!! This is paragraph #1</p>
<p>This is paragraph #2</p>
<p class="trailer">Goodbye, World! This is the last paragraph.</p>

Or specify a custom class name:

>>> import markdown
>>> import mdx_lead_trail
>>> src = """
... Hello, World!! This is paragraph #1
... 
... This is paragraph #2
... 
... Goodbye, World! This is the last paragraph. """.strip()
>>> configs = {'leader_class': 'head', 'trailer_class': 'foot'}
>>> ext = mdx_lead_trail.LeadTrailExtension(configs)
>>> html = markdown.markdown(src, extensions=[ext])
>>> print(html)
<p class="head">Hello, World!! This is paragraph #1</p>
<p>This is paragraph #2</p>
<p class="foot">Goodbye, World! This is the last paragraph.</p>

The old way also works:

>>> import markdown
>>> src = """
... Hello, World!! This is paragraph #1
... 
... This is paragraph #2
... 
... Goodbye, World! This is the last paragraph. """.strip()
>>> html = markdown.markdown(src, ['lead_trail'])
>>> print(html)
<p class="leader">Hello, World!! This is paragraph #1</p>
<p>This is paragraph #2</p>
<p class="trailer">Goodbye, World! This is the last paragraph.</p>
