Kramdown Prismic

A Kramdown parser and converter to convert documents into prismic rich text format and back.

A useful usage is to convert markdown documents to prismic for import purpose. Then you can even convert prismic format back to markdown.

Status

The converter part (kramdown to prismic) is working and fairly complete. See Difference between markdown and rich text below to know more about limitations.

The parser part is quite new and not feature complete (missing list item for instance).

Install

Usage

Convert kramdown documents to Prismic

require 'kramdown-prismic'

kramdown = '# Hello world'

Convert Prismic to markdown

prismic = [
  {
    type: "heading1",
    content: {
      text: "This is the document title",

    }
  }
]

Lookup for warnings

If there is some elements that cannot be converted (see the status table), a warning will be emitted.

For instance, html elements in the markdown is not supported:

require 'kramdown-prismic'

markdown = '<h1>Hello world</h1>'
result = Kramdown::Document.new(markdown, input: :markdown)
result.to_prismic
p result.warnings
