Usage
1. Markdown to HTML
You can use EFMarkdown
to make Markdown string to HTML string easily:
let markdown = "# Hello"
var html = ""
do {
html = try EFMarkdown().markdownToHTML(markdown, options: EFMarkdownOptions.safe)
print(html) // This will return "<h1>Hello</h1>\n"
} catch let error as NSError {
print ("Error: \(error.domain)")
}
2. View Markdown
You can use EFMarkdownView
to make a preview of Markdown:
let screenSize = UIScreen.main.bounds
let markView = EFMarkdownView()
markView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 20, width: screenSize.width, height: screenSize.height - 20)
markView.onRendered = {
[weak self] (height) in
if let _ = self {
// Optional: you can know the change of height in this block
print("onRendered height: \(height ?? 0)")
}
}
self.view.addSubview(markView)
markView.load(markdown: testMarkdownFileContent(), options: [.default]) {
[weak self] (_, _) in
if let _ = self {
// Optional: you can change font-size with a value of percent here
markView.setFontSize(percent: 128)
printLog("load finish!")
}
}
