imgui_md

Markdown renderer for Dear ImGui using MD4C parser.

C++11 or above

imgui_md currently supports the following markdown functionality:

• Wrapped text
• Headers
• Emphasis
• Ordered and unordered list, sub-lists
• Link
• Image
• Horizontal rule
• Table
• Underline
• Strikethrough
• HTML elements: <br> <hr> <u> <div> &nbsp;
• Backslash Escapes

Most format tags can be mixed!

Current tables limitations:

• Width of the columns are defined by header
• Cells are always left aligned

Usage

Add imgui_md.h imgui_md.cpp md4c.h md4c.c to your project and use the following code:

#include "imgui_md.h"

//Fonts and images (ImTextureID) must be loaded in other place
//see https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/blob/master/docs/FONTS.md
extern ImFont* g_font_regular;
extern ImFont* g_font_bold;
extern ImFont* g_font_bold_large;
extern ImTextureID g_texture1;

struct my_markdown : public imgui_md 
{
	ImFont* get_font() const override
	{
		if (m_is_table_header) {
			return g_font_bold;
		}

		switch (m_hlevel)
		{
		case 0:
			return m_is_strong ? g_font_bold : g_font_regular;
		case 1:
			return g_font_bold_large;
		default:
			return g_font_bold;
		}
	};

	void open_url() const override
	{
		//platform dependent code
		SDL_OpenURL(m_href.c_str());
	}

	bool get_image(image_info& nfo) const override
	{
		//use m_href to identify images
		nfo.texture_id = g_texture1;
		nfo.size = {40,20};
		nfo.uv0 = { 0,0 };
		nfo.uv1 = {1,1};
		nfo.col_tint = { 1,1,1,1 };
		nfo.col_border = { 0,0,0,0 };
		return true;
	}
	
	void html_div(const std::string& dclass, bool e) override
	{
		if (dclass == "red") {
			if (e) {
				m_table_border = false;
				ImGui::PushStyleColor(ImGuiCol_Text, IM_COL32(255, 0, 0, 255));
			} else {
				ImGui::PopStyleColor();
				m_table_border = true;
			}
		}
	}
};


//call this function to render your markdown
void markdown(const char* str, const char* str_end)
{
	static my_markdown s_printer;
	s_printer.print(str, str_end);
}
