This is a plugin that fixes the logic for bold text in markdown-it.
This issue has been encountered by many people, and there have been many discussions about it, such as
By default, markdown-it identifies whether ** can be closed based on the following rules:
- If there is a space on the left, then
open = true - If there is a space on the right, then
close = true - If neither side has a space, it checks for special characters such as
+-=or other language separators for example Chinese semicolons：. If these symbols are present, they are treated as spaces.
This leads to the following parsing results:
render('**==foo==**abc') === '<p>**<mark>foo</mark>**abc</p>';
render('**中文：**中文') === '<p>**中文：**中文</p>';In reality, we expect both cases to output a strong tag.
The implementation logic is as follows: insert a function before balance_pairs. After completing inline rule parsing, adjust the delimiters. After adjustment, whether ** can be closed depends on whether there was an open ** before it.
After using this plugin, the above examples will output as follows:
render('**==foo==**abc') === '<p><strong><mark>foo</mark></strong>abc</p>';
render('**中文：**中文') === '<p><strong>中文：</strong>中文</p> ';npm install markdown-match-pairs --save
var md = require('markdown-it')()
.use(require('markdown-match-pairs'));This plugin has copied all existing test cases from the markdown-it repository to ensure that old test cases pass.
