# markdown-it API
### Simple use
In most cases you will use `markdown-it` in very simple way:
```javascript
var md = require('markdown-it')();
var result = md.render(your_markdown_string);
// Or for inline (without paragraths & blocks)
var resultInline = md.renderInline(your_markdown_inline_string);
```
### Advanced use
Advanced use consist of this steps:
1. Create instance with desired preset & options.
2. Add plugins.
3. Enable/Disable additional rules.
4. Rewrite renderer functions.
5. Use result to call `.render()` or `.renderInline()` method.
Of cause, you can skip not needed steps, or change sequense.
__Example 1.__ Minimalistic mode with bold, italic and line breaks:
```javascript
var md = require('markdown-it')('zero', { breaks: true })
.enable([ 'newline', 'emphasis' ]);
var result = md.renderInline(...);
```
__Example 2.__ Load plugin and disable tables:
```javascript
var md = require('markdown-it')()
.use(require('markdown-it-emoji'))
.disable('table');
var result = md.render(...);
```
__Example 3.__ Replace `` with `` in rendered result:
```javascript
var md = require('markdown-it')();
md.renderer.rules.strong_open = function () { return ''; };
md.renderer.rules.strong_close = function () { return ''; };
var result = md.renderInline(...);
```
