Suggestions for new features are welcome, feel free to open an issue.
Install the component with NPM:
npm install markmap
Visualizing a markdown text consists of two steps:
- The text is parsed and transformed into a tree representation.
- The tree is rendered.
To run the examples first clone the project and install dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/dundalek/markmap.git
cd markmap
npm installIn the examples code there are imports like require('../../lib/somefile'). When using this library in your project you need to change those to require('markmap/lib/somefile').
Run npm start and a browser will open with the example page where you can see how different formats are parsed and displayed. The source code for browser examples is located in examples/browser folder.
Node examples are located in examples/node. You can run the markdown example or others as follows:
cd examples/node
