In lab 3 of week 4, I was asked to implement some features that supports .md files to my SSG program.
The implementation
Horizontal markdown parsing
This feature was the easiest to carry out with as many as 2 lines of code
if(param.match(/---/))
return Object({type: 'hr', content: null});
I simply match any --- and return a hr object(equivalent to <hr>) to be added the my createHTML function.
Inline code markdown parsing
I continued to use regEx to match any 2 backticks and wrap the content between them inside <code>. It can be found here
param = param.replace(/\`([^\`].+?)\`/g, "<code>$1</code>");
Adding lang attribute to <html>
In my ssg, I've used html-creator npm package to create html string. However, it doesn't have any method that allow me to add a lang attribute to <html> tag. Therefore, I must edit the html string after the I've convert the HtmlCreator object to string.
This step seems to beat the purpose of using the library, I will try to make a pull request implementing this feature to the author's code
Merging feature branches
Creating different branches for different features
In lab 3, I was asked to create branches for different features, it's similar to a few developers branching off the main branch to implement different feature. It was expected to have conflict after the first fast forward merge
Merging
After merging the first issue branch into main, I encountered some conflicts, but the problem was solved by looking at the difference between 2 files and figuring out which change to keep.
