Markdown files are enriched with HTML #211

Closed fedragon closed 7 years ago

fedragon commented 7 years ago

Hi, I am trying to serve Markdown files using elm-reactor and I see that they get enriched with HTML (see example below): is there any way to get the "raw" file, without any markup? I took a look at Main.hs but could not find anything.

Thank you in advance!

elm-reactor is not intended to be a proper server. It is nice for development, but when it comes to serving assets for real users, it isn't what you want anymore. I'm not sure what your case is, but I'd need it to be clarified before moving forward with this.

I think it makes sense to follow up with this line of questioning on elm-discuss or the Elm slack channel. If it seems like you have a case that warrants changing the behavior of elm-reactor, it makes sense to open a new issue that justifies why this change would benefit all users of elm-reactor and is worth it given the particular goals of elm-reactor.

Hi @evancz, thank you for your reply, I understand your point of view. Just to clarify, my intent is not to use elm-reactor as a proper server: I am just developing a tool that parses markdown files and I was confused to get them enriched with markup.

Thanks for mentioning elm-discuss, I will ask these kind of questions there from now on!
