Definition Lists
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The Definition List Extension adds the ability to create definition list in
|
|
Markdown documents.
|
|
|
|
This extension is included in the standard Markdown library.
|
|
|
|
Syntax
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Definition lists are defined using the syntax established in
|
|
[PHP Markdown Extra][php].
|
|
|
|
[php]: http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/extra/#def-list
|
|
|
|
Thus, the following text (taken from the above referenced PHP documentation):
|
|
|
|
Apple
|
|
: Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in
|
|
the family Rosaceae.
|
|
|
|
Orange
|
|
: The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.
|
|
|
|
will be rendered like so:
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>Apple</dt>
|
|
<dd>Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in
|
|
the family Rosaceae.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Orange</dt>
|
|
<dd>The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
From the Python interpreter:
|
|
|
|
>>> html = markdown.markdown(text, ['def_list'])
|
|
|
|
To use with other extensions, just add them to the list, like this:
|
|
|
|
>>> html = markdown.markdown(text, ['def_list', 'footnotes'])
|
|
|
|
The extension can also be called from the command line using Markdown's `-x`
|
|
parameter:
|
|
|
|
markdown.py -x def_list source.txt > output.html
