0.6.0 - 2020-12-15

🗑 DEPRECATE: Move plugins to mdit_py_plugins

Plugins (in markdown_it.extensions) have now been moved to executablebooks/mdit-py-plugins. This will allow for their maintenance to occur on a different cycle to the core code, facilitating the release of a v1.0.0 for this package

🔧 MAINTAIN: Add mypy type-checking, thanks to @hukkinj1.

0.5.8 - 2020-12-13

✨ NEW: Add linkify, thanks to @tsutsu3.

This extension uses linkify-it-py to identify URL links within text:

github.com -> <a href="http://github.com">github.com</a>

Important: To use this extension you must install linkify-it-py; pip install markdown-it-py[linkify]

It can then be activated by:

from markdown_it import MarkdownIt
md = MarkdownIt().enable("linkify")
md.options["linkify"] = True

0.5.7 - 2020-12-13

✨ NEW: Add smartquotes, thanks to @tsutsu3.

This extension will convert basic quote marks to their opening and closing variants:

‘single quotes’ -> ‘single quotes’
“double quotes” -> “double quotes”

It can be activated by:

from markdown_it import MarkdownIt
md = MarkdownIt().enable("smartquotes")
md.options["typographer"] = True

✨ NEW: Add markdown-it-task-lists plugin, thanks to @wna-se.

This is a port of the JS markdown-it-task-lists, for building task/todo lists out of markdown lists with items starting with [ ] or [x]. For example:

- [ ] An item that needs doing
- [x] An item that is complete

This plugin can be activated by:

from markdown_it import MarkdownIt
from markdown_it.extensions.tasklists import tasklists_plugin
md = MarkdownIt().use(tasklists_plugin)

🐛 Various bug fixes, thanks to @hukkinj1:

Do not copy empty env arg in MarkdownIt.render

- (tm), (TM) → ™
- (r), (R) → ®
- (p), (P) → §
- +- → ±
- ... → …
- ?.... → ?..
- !.... → !..
- ???????? → ???
- !!!!! → !!!
- ,,, → ,
- -- → &ndash
- --- → &mdash
```
md = MarkdownIt().enable("replacements")
md.options["typographer"] = True
```
