Extracting content by intercepting render_raw_text

See original GitHub issue

Thanks for this nice project.

I may be a noob in this, but I was able to parse a readme get the returned content wrapper in their html elements. But the returned content is one giant text. So, my question is: is there any built-in function to extract only contents but not codes? as in get only data from …<p></p> or <h5></h5> …

Oops sorry about that. There are some changes re: renderer’s handling of footnotes that haven’t been updated to pypi yet (see commit 95af86e). I’ll prepare a release soon.

If you clone the repo directly (mistletoe v0.4) the above code should work. If you installed by pypi (mistletoe v0.3.1) you need to define render_raw_text with an additional footnotes argument:

def render_raw_text(self, token, footnotes):
    ...

All other code stays the same.

Sorry about that, and watch for the recent v0.4 release to get rid of the footnotes argument!

Ah, ok thanks. I will check this out, closing for now. Also, I added the second python in the code block so I can render the example, otherwise I am only using the first example as others do 😃

cheers
