Overview

This project allows you to translate markdown to HTML and to convert URLs or even local image file-paths to embedded images.

Local file-paths must be specifically enabled, for security reasons.

This project is Python 2 and Python 3 compatible.

Example

Image URLs

Short usage:

import mei

markdown = "![Random Ingenuity](http://www.randomingenuity.com/ri72.png)"
actual = mei.markdown(markdown)

# <p><img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSU...kJggg==" alt="Random Ingenuity"></p>

Long usage:

import mei.embed_images
import mistune

renderer = mei.embed_images.EmbedImagesRenderer()
m = mistune.Markdown(renderer=renderer)

markdown = "![Random Ingenuity](http://www.randomingenuity.com/ri72.png)"
actual = m.render(markdown)

# <p><img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSU...kJggg==" alt="Random Ingenuity"></p>

Local Images

Short usage:

import mei

markdown = "![alt text](/drawable-mdpi/ic_menu_paste.png)"
actual = mei.markdown(markdown)

# <p><img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSU...TkSuQCC" alt="Random Ingenuity"></p>

Long usage:

import mei.embed_images
import mistune

renderer = mei.embed_images.EmbedImagesRenderer(embed_local_images=True)
m = mistune.Markdown(renderer=renderer)

markdown = "![alt text](/drawable-mdpi/ic_menu_paste.png)"
actual = m.render(markdown)

# <p><img src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSU...TkSuQCC" alt="Random Ingenuity"></p>
