Introduction

This application is designed to seamlessly convert Markdown documents into styled HTML files optimized for Canvas LMS.

IMPORTANT

As the application is still actively being developed, the main branch might not contain some features. If you want to use/test the newest updates, checkout the dev branch and run the application manually.

Features

• Automatically inlines all CSS styles to ensure the output looks exactly as intended within the Canvas LMS environment. However, keep in mind that your organization may enforce some styling rules.

• Custom Markdown syntax extensions:

  • Expandable blocks (details/summary) using ^^^^ header. E.g.:

    ^^^^ More info
    This application is designed to seamlessly convert Markdown documents into styled HTML files optimized for Canvas LMS.
    ^^^^

  • Side Blocks: create styled info, warning, or message blocks using !!!! type. You can also use color codes (hex) or color name instead of predefined types (which are warning, info, message and success) E.g.:

    !!!! warning
    As the application is still actively being developed, the `main` branch might not contain some features. If you want to use/test the newest updates, checkout the `dev` branch and run the application manually.
    !!!!

  • Inline Colors: color specific words directly in text using ::color | text::. It supports both color names and hex codes.

• Full support for tables, footnotes and nested lists without breaking numbering (sane_lists).

• Integrated with Pygments for syntax highlight in code blocks.

Requirements

• Python 3.10 or higher

ToDo

[ ] Add support for different colors/sized for expandable block (may require some changes in syntax)

[ ] Add support for custom classes
