Introduction to Markdown Magic

Markdown Magic is a highly efficient tool designed for automating the process of enhancing markdown files with dynamic content. This enables developers and content creators to keep their documentation up to date with the latest information easily. In this blog post, we will explore a variety of APIs provided by Markdown Magic and provide code snippets to demonstrate their usage. By the end of this post, you will also find an example involving multiple APIs in a single application.

• Automatic Table of Contents
• Snippet Integration
• Creating Custom Plugins
• Full Example Application

Rendering GIFs

Markdown Magic allows you to insert GIFs dynamically into your markdown files. This is particularly useful for inline demonstrations and visual explanations.

```javascript
const markdownMagic = require('markdown-magic');

const config = {
  transforms: {
    GIF: require('markdown-magic-gif')
  }
}

const content = `

`

markdownMagic(content, config, (err, output) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(output);
});
```

Automatic Table of Contents

Automatically generate a Table of Contents (ToC) for your markdown files, improving the navigability of your documentation.

```javascript
const markdownMagic = require('markdown-magic');

const config = {
  transforms: {
    TOC: require('markdown-magic-toc')
  }
};

const content = `


`

markdownMagic(content, config, (err, output) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(output);
});
```

Snippet Integration

Integrate code snippets from external files directly into your markdown documents. This ensures that your examples are always up to date.

```javascript
const markdownMagic = require('markdown-magic');

const config = {
  transforms: {
    SNIPPET: require('markdown-magic-snippet')
  }
};

const content = `


`

markdownMagic(content, config, (err, output) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(output);
});
```

Creating Custom Plugins

With Markdown Magic, you can create custom plugins for bespoke transformations not covered by existing plugins.

```javascript
const markdownMagic = require('markdown-magic');

function customTransform (content, options) {
  return content.replace(/FOO/g, 'BAR');
}

const config = {
  transforms: {
    CUSTOM: customTransform
  }
};

const content = `
This content contains FOO and it will be replaced with BAR.
`

markdownMagic(content, config, (err, output) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(output);
});
```

Full Example Application

Combining multiple APIs into a single application can take your documentation to the next level. Here is a comprehensive example that demonstrates how to use various Markdown Magic APIs together.

```javascript
const markdownMagic = require('markdown-magic');
const gifTransform = require('markdown-magic-gif');
const tocTransform = require('markdown-magic-toc');
const snippetTransform = require('markdown-magic-snippet');

const config = {
  transforms: {
    GIF: gifTransform,
    TOC: tocTransform,
    SNIPPET: snippetTransform
  }
};

const content = `
# Main Documentation

`

markdownMagic(content, config, (err, output) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log(output);
});
```

With these APIs and integration methods, Markdown Magic can become a powerful tool in your documentation arsenal. Enhance the readability and maintainability of your markdown files efficiently.
