Installation
Requirements
In order for PyMdown Extensions to work, there are a couple of prerequisites.
| Name | Required | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Python Markdown | Yes | Python Markdown must be installed as it is the Markdown parser that is being used. |
| Pygments (optional) | No | If Pygments Syntax highlighting is desired, Pygments must be installed. This can be omitted, and code blocks will be formatted for use with JavaScript code highlighters. |
Installation
Installation is easy with pip:
$ pip install pymdown-extensions
If you want to manually install it, run:
$ python setup.py build
$ python setup.py install
After installing, you should be able to access the extensions in Python Markdown under the namespace pymdownx.<extension>.
If you would like to modify the code, you can install it via:
$ pip install --editable .
This method will allow you to instantly see your changes without reinstalling. If you want to do this in a virtual environment, you can.
