Markdown in Thymeleaf

Question

What will be the best way to implement Markdown in Thymeleaf?

• template mode
• a new dialect (what processors?)

It would be useful if I can embed markdown in HTML.

Answer 1

From what I understood from Javadoc, I will have to implement first the markdown enabler as an AbstractAttributeModelProcessor and use structureHandler.setLocalVariable to set that variable. Then I have to implement the markdown executor as an AbstractTextProcessor and in the doProcess method to test the variable using context.getVariable and if set to replace the text with a new one: text.setText(transformMarkdown(..)).
