Revert back to original markdown

[narutaro]

Hi,

I am looking for a way to revert back to original markdown from Kramdown::Document.

My code is:

require 'kramdown'

code = <<END
# Code block

```rb
num = 0
while num < 2 do
   print("num = ", num)
end
print("End")

END

table = <<END

Table

Option	Description
data	path to data files to supply the data that will be passed into templates.
engine	engine to be used for processing templates. Handlebars is the default.
ext	extension to be used for dest files.

END

In my real application, I want to do something on the kramdown object and revert back to a markdown

c = Kramdown::Document.new(code) puts c.to_kramdown puts "---" t = Kramdown::Document.new(table) puts t.to_kramdown

This code returns slightly different markdown. `` ``` `` becomes `` ` `` and `| ------ | ----------- |` is `|----------`.

Code block

rb num = 0 while num < 2 do print("num = ", num) end print("End")

---

Table

Option	Description
data	path to data files to supply the data that will be passed into templates.
engine	engine to be used for processing templates. Handlebars is the default.
ext	extension to be used for dest files.

Do you have an advice how I can get original markdown from `Kramdown::Document`?

You are using an invalid syntax, code blocks are started with three tildes ~~~, you are starting a code span with three backticks. Use the correct syntax and the output should be fine.

The table output is just the minimum needed to recreate the table. There is nothing implemented to create nice aesthetics. If you need nicely formatted table output, you need to create a custom converter that produces your desired output.

@gettalong - thank you for your clarification. I will try that way. :)
