how to avoid 'Unexpected close tag' issue

[Abhishek Kumar]

We have a requirement to convert MD to HTML with table extension. One of the column contains array<object> and generated HTML is not valid because there is no closing tag of <object>

Can you please suggest any way to replace array<object> with array[object], or any other good representation which does not break HTML structure? I have oneway which is String manipulation after MD to HTML conversion, but I want to avoid this approach. I am expecting a better approach from the library side. Much appreciated for any suggestions.

Input

# Test Quantity Service

##### Payload

| Name | Type |
|---|---|
| constituentLocationStock | array<object> |

Generated Output

<h1>Test Quantity Service</h1>
<h5>Payload</h5>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Type</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>constituentLocationStock</td>
<td>array<object></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Java Code

String content = FileUtils.readFileToString(new File("C:\\temp.md"), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);

        Extension tableExtension = TablesExtension.create();

        List<Extension> extensions = Arrays.asList(tableExtension);
        Parser parser = Parser.builder().extensions(extensions).build();
        HtmlRenderer renderer = HtmlRenderer.builder().extensions(extensions).build();

        Node document = parser.parse((String) content);
        String mdTohtml = renderer.render(document);
        System.out.println("mdTohtml -" + mdTohtml);

Please let me know for any information.

You need to create create your renderer with escapeHtml(true) if you want to escape HTML:

HtmlRenderer renderer = HtmlRenderer.builder().escapeHtml(true).extensions(extensions).build();
