remark-fenced-divs

Important!

This plugin is made for the new parser in remark (micromark, see remarkjs/remark#536). Use this plugin for remark 13+.

If you don't need Pandoc compatibility you should consider using remark-directive.

Getting started

Fenced divs are some kind of generic syntax for block contents with a syntax similar to fenced code blocks but using a 3 colons ::: as delimiter instead of ```.

It allows a simple word used as a class in html:

::: my-class
This is a paragraph.
:::

Will be rendered in html as:

<div class="my-div">
  <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</div>

Or extended attributes syntax in curly braces:

::: {#navbar .container .right key=1 key2="value 2"}
This is a paragraph.
:::

Will be rendered in html as:

<div id="navbar" class="container right" data-key1="1" data-key2="value 2">
  <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
</div>

Syntax details

From pandoc reference: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-fenced_divs

This implemenatation is incomplete PR are welcome.

[x] A Div must start at the beginning of a line: it mustn't be indented.
[x] A Div starts with a fence containing at least three consecutive colons plus some attributes.
[x] The attributes may optionally be followed by another string of consecutive colons.
[x] The attribute syntax is exactly as in fenced code blocks (see Extension: fenced_code_attributes). As with fenced code blocks, one can use either attributes in curly braces or
[x] a single unbraced word, which will be treated as a class name.
[x] The Div must ends with another line containing a string of at least three consecutive colons at the beginning of the line.
~~The fenced Div should be separated by blank lines:~~
- [ ] ~~from preceding~~
- [ ] ~~and following blocks.~~
[ ] The fenced Div can be nested.

Other implementations details include:

A Div ends with a fence containing at least three consecutive colons plus some spaces.
If no closing fence is found, the container runs to the end of its parent container (block quote, list item, document, or other container).
A fenced div can be indented with up to 3 spaces.
It is not necessary to add a blank line before and after the fenced div.
