Using in Browser

[Ratstail91]

Hi, I was really hoping to use this in the browser. Is there any way it can be adapted for that? I'm already using several other markdown plugins client-side, so I hoped this would simply work.

Hello,

Can you give me an example of how you would like to see this used in the browser? I am having a tough time coming up with a use case (mainly because I have never really thought about it).

Lets say I have the following markdown file:

#include 'header.md'
#include 'games.md'
#include 'footer.md'

This file is fetched and parsed client-side, using markdown-it. Each time it hit an #include, a markdown-it plugin would make an async request for that file, and inserts it there before it finishes. This way I could have the contents of header.md and footer.md on several different pages.

I know this isn't designed for that, I just originally misinterpreted it that way. It would be cool if this could be adapted like that, though.

Yes, that's an interesting use case. Currently this is only for server side but it could be adapted at some point for client side. It would just need to be abstracted away a little bit to work as such. I will leave this open.
