markmap-lib

Visualize your Markdown as mindmaps.

This project is heavily inspired by Markmap.

See online demo.

Usage

Command-line

Installation

Install globally:

$ yarn global add markmap-lib
# or
$ npm install markmap-lib -g

or use with npx:

$ npx markmap-lib

Commands

Usage: markmap [options] <input>

Create a markmap from a Markdown input file

Options:
  -V, --version          output the version number
  -o, --output <output>  specify filename of the output HTML
  --enable-mathjax       enable MathJax support
  --no-open              do not open the output file after generation
  -h, --help             display help for command

Suppose you have a Markdown file named note.md.

Run the following command to get an interactive mindmap:

$ markmap note.md

# without global installation
$ npx markmap-lib note.md

Then you will get a note.html in the same directory, and hopefully it will be open in your default browser.

MathJax

To enable MathJax support for your Markdown, pass --enable-mathjax:

$ markmap --enable-mathjax note.md

API

Installation

$ yarn add markmap-lib
# or
$ npm install markmap-lib

Transform

Transform Markdown to markmap data:

import { transform } from 'markmap-lib/dist/transform.common';

const data = transform(markdown);

Now we get the data for rendering in data.

Render

Render a markmap from transformed data:

Create an SVG element with explicit width and height:

<svg id="markmap" style="width: 800px; height: 800px"></svg>

Render a markmap to the SVG element:

import { markmap } from 'markmap-lib/dist/view.common';

markmap('#markmap', data);

// or pass an SVG element directly
const svgEl = document.querySelector('#markmap');
markmap(svgEl, data);

MathJax

To enable MathJax, you need to load MathJax before rendering markmap:

<script>
window.MathJax = {
  options: {
    skipHtmlTags: {
      '[-]': ['code', 'pre']
    }
  }
};
</script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3/es5/tex-svg.js"></script>

and process Html with MathJax in options.processHtml:

import { markmap } from 'markmap-lib/dist/view.common';

markmap('#markmap', data, {
  processHtml: nodes => {
    if (window.MathJax.typeset) MathJax.typeset(nodes);
  },
});

Note:

• The skipHtmlTags option is required because inline code generated from Markdown is always wrapped in <code>, which is ignored by MathJax by default.
• The MathJax library should better be loaded synchronously so that we can just use it in options.processHtml without a flash.
