Can Pagedown turn "\n" into <br /> , just like MarkdownSharp's Autonewlines option?

I'm using markdown editor with Pagedown and MarkdownSharp.

There is an option "AutoNewlines" in MarkdownSharp.

I wonder how to do this in Pagedown (http://code.google.com/p/pagedown/).

Thank you!

Solution

  • the first revision of this answer included a rather naive approach which didn't work in most cases.
    i ported the AutoNewLines option from MarkDownSharp to PageDown you can download it here http://code.google.com/r/marcdrexel-pagedown/

    it should behave exactly as in MarkDownSharp

    usage sample:

    var converter = Markdown.getSanitizingConverter();
converter.autoNewLine = true;
var editor = new Markdown.Editor(converter);
editor.run();
