support alerts
Hey @tcoopman that will be possible soon trough AST manipulation, I have a branch with most of the work already.
Hey @tcoopman I just opened this pull request that allows AST manipulation like I mentioned before. You can find an example to render blockquotes as alerts as described on the github doc and it looks like this:
The functions we have at this moment are pretty low-level but in the upcoming versions we'll have a high level API to manipulate the AST and to attach plugins, either way now it's possible to render alerts.
Please give it a try on that branch and let me know if you find issues.
https://github.com/leandrocp/mdex/pull/58 merged so I'm closing this one now. Eventually we'll have a plugin system (probably based on Req) so it will be much easier to share steps to manipulate the AST, but in the mean time https://github.com/leandrocp/mdex/blob/main/examples/alerts.exs is the way to go. Thanks for the suggestion to support alerts!
This works fine. I only happened to try this out just at the time you changed the syntax of some thing, so I was confused for a bit :smile:
Hmm, I do still have a question.
How would I use this if I want to add a link in the alert?
I think I know how to update the pattern match, but have no clue on how to handle the ast. Ideally I should be able to first convert the ast to rendered html and insert that html into the template?
Hey @tcoopman I just updated the example to allow rendering markdown and html in the alert content. Manipulating the AST is not always super fun but eventually we'll have a high-level API to make it easier.

In main now the attrs are represented as maps instead of list of tuples, so keep that in mind. I'll release that change soon.
