GitBook Plugin: Advanced Emoji

Transforms emojis like :white_check_mark: into real emoji images using emojify.js.

Please note that this plugin only works for markdown files. All other filetypes will just be ignored, and the plugin does nothing.

Installation

You can install this plugin via npm:

$ npm install gitbook-plugin-advanced-emoji

Be sure to activate the option from the book.json file:

{
    "plugins" : ["advanced-emoji"]
}

Then run gitbook install followed by either gitbook serve or gitbook build

Using Ignore Flags

If you want for example occurences of emojis not replaced you will need to wrap them in the following comments.

<!-- ignore:advanced-emoji:start -->
:white_check_mark:
<!-- ignore:advanced-emoji:end -->

You can even set the ignores around a codeblock or more lines.

This is a text

<!-- ignore:advanced-emoji:start -->
'''
Check the Code
Code ... :white_check_mark:
'''
<!-- ignore:advanced-emoji:end -->

foo
