A lightweight, efficient library for converting standard Markdown to Slack's mrkdwn format. This library helps you maintain consistent formatting when sending messages to Slack from your applications.

## Features

- Fast and lightweight conversion from Markdown to Slack's mrkdwn format
- No external dependencies
- Comprehensive support for Markdown elements:
  - Headings (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6)
  - Text formatting (bold, italic, strikethrough)
  - Lists (ordered and unordered, with nesting)
  - Ordered lists (numbered lists with proper indentation)
  - Task lists (checked and unchecked items)
  - Tables (with header formatting)
  - Links and image references
  - Code blocks (with language specification preserved)
  - Blockquotes
  - Horizontal rules
- Preserves code blocks without converting their contents
- Handles special characters and edge cases

## Installation

Install from PyPI using pip:

```bash
pip install markdown_to_mrkdwn
```

Requirements:
- Python 3.8 or higher

## Usage

# Convert markdown to mrkdwn

- List item
[Link](https://example.com)
~~Strikethrough text~~
"""
mrkdwn_text = converter.convert(markdown_text)

### Testing in Slack

You can test the output in Slack Block Kit Builder:
[Slack Block Kit Builder](https://app.slack.com/block-kit-builder/)

## Advanced Usage

### Custom Encoding

You can specify a custom encoding when initializing the converter:

```python
converter = SlackMarkdownConverter()
```

### Plugin System

You can extend the converter with your own plugins.

### Function Plugin Example
```python
from markdown_to_mrkdwn.converter import SlackMarkdownConverter

def to_upper(line):
    return line.upper()

converter = SlackMarkdownConverter()
converter.register_plugin(
    name="to_upper",
    converter_func=to_upper,
    priority=10,
    scope="line",
    timing="after"
)
print(converter.convert("hello"))  # Output: HELLO
```

### Regex Plugin Example
```python
# Add comma to thousands
converter.register_regex_plugin(
    name="add_comma_to_thousands",
    pattern=r"(?<=\\d)(?=(\\d{3})+(?!\\d))",
    replacement=",",
    priority=10,
    timing="after"
)
print(converter.convert("1234567"))  # Output: 1,234,567

# Mask email addresses
converter.register_regex_plugin(
    name="mask_email",
    pattern=r"[a-zA-Z0-9_.+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\\.[a-zA-Z0-9-.]+",
    replacement="[EMAIL]",
    priority=20,
    timing="after"
)
print(converter.convert("Contact: test.user@example.com"))  # Output: Contact: [EMAIL]
```

- `priority` controls execution order (lower runs first)
- `timing` can be "before" or "after" (default: "after")
- `scope` is always "line" for regex plugins

### Error Handling

The converter will return the original markdown text if an error occurs during conversion:

```python
try:
    mrkdwn_text = converter.convert(markdown_text)
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Conversion error: {e}")
```
