I want to get the metadata and also the content.
Given this markdown text:
---
title: The Title
---
just some content
And this function to extract the Meta
:
extractMeta :: Pandoc -> Meta
extractMeta (Pandoc meta _) = meta
I always get
Meta {unMeta = fromList []}
as a response.
It seems like the metadata block is included somewhere else:
Pandoc (Meta {unMeta = fromList []}) [HorizontalRule,Para [Str "title:",Space,Str "Something",SoftBreak,Str "id:",Space,Str "123123",SoftBreak,Str "---"],Para [Str "hi",Space,Str "this",Space,Str "is",Space,Str "the",Space,Str "first",Space,Str "blog",Space,Str "post"]]
Is there any way I can make Pandoc parse the YAML metadata using its Haskell API?
Thanks.
Full code:
module Main where
import Data.Text (pack, Text)
import Text.Pandoc (def, readMarkdown, runIO, ReaderOptions (readerStandalone))
import Data.Functor ((<&>))
readAndPack :: FilePath -> IO Text
readAndPack = (<$>) pack . readFile . ( ) "posts/"
main :: IO ()
main = do
md <- readAndPack "binary.markdown"
pandoc <- runIO $ readMarkdown def { readerStandalone = True } md
print pandoc
CodePudding user response:
The issue is: YAML metadata is not enabled by default. You need Ext_yaml_metadata_block
on to get what you want. Here's a full code that does parse YAML metadata as expected.
module Main where
import Data.Text (pack, Text)
import Text.Pandoc (def, readMarkdown, runIO, ReaderOptions (readerStandalone))
import Text.Pandoc.Extensions
import Text.Pandoc.Options
import Data.Functor ((<&>))
readAndPack :: FilePath -> IO Text
readAndPack = (<$>) pack . readFile . ( ) "posts/"
main :: IO ()
main = do
md <- readAndPack "binary.markdown"
pandoc <- runIO $
readMarkdown
(def {
readerStandalone = True,
readerExtensions =
enableExtension Ext_yaml_metadata_block (readerExtensions def) } )
md
print pandoc
Here's the output:
Right (Pandoc (Meta {unMeta = fromList [("title",MetaInlines [Str "The",Space,Str "Title"])]}) [Para [Str "just",Space,Str "some",Space,Str "content"]])
