Module markdown 

The portable Markdown subset a message’s text is written in, and its translations.

Inline: **bold**, *italic* or _italic_, `code`, [text](url) and backslash escapes (\*). Lines: a line starting with - or * is a bullet; other lines are text, kept as written (line breaks matter in chat). There are no headings and no tables: the title is separate.

Core escapes every value a template interpolates (escape), so a value containing * or _ stays literal. Each destination translates with one of the to_* functions.

Functions

escape

s with every character that means something in the subset backslash-escaped.

fit

text (portable Markdown) translated with translate, fitting in max characters: when the translation is too long, whole lines are dropped from the end of the source before translating, so a cut never lands inside the dialect’s markup, and marker (already in the dialect) is appended. The second value says whether it was cut.

html_escape

t safe as HTML text or an attribute value.

parse

Parse text line by line.

to_google_chat

Google Chat’s text formatting (the same marks as Slack’s).

to_html

An HTML fragment: lines become paragraphs (consecutive lines joined by <br>), bullets a list.

to_plain

Plain text: marks removed, links as text (url), bullets as - .

to_slack

Slack’s mrkdwn, which has no escapes: &, < and > become entities, and literal *, ~ and ` become look-alikes so they can’t start formatting.

to_teams

The Markdown Microsoft Teams renders in an Adaptive Card text block.

truncate

text cut to at most max characters including marker, at a line break when one is close enough; None when it already fits.
