To used templated markdown files, we need a library for markdown (showdown) and a templating library (handlebars). A good resource for finding well-maintained libraries is https:\/\/www.javascripting.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nlet showdown = require('showdown'),\n    Handlebars = require('handlebars');\n<\/pre>\n
We’ll need some sample data:<\/p>\n
\nlet data = {\n  Title: 'A test title',\n  Description: 'Testing description'\n}\n<\/pre>\n
And a template file:<\/p>\n
\nlet template = `\n## Test\nTitle:
\nSlug:
\nExcerpt:

\n*[{{Title}}]({{Url}})*:

\n> {{Description}}

\n`;\n<\/pre>\n
We then apply the handlebars template, and then a markdown template:<\/p>\n
\nlet apply = Handlebars.compile(template)\nlet untemplate = apply(data)\nlet converter = new showdown.Converter();\nlet html = converter.makeHtml(untemplate)\n<\/pre>\n
This gives a result like so:<\/p>\n
\n
Test<\/h2>\n\n
Title:
\nSlug:
\nExcerpt:

\nA test title<\/a><\/em>:

<\/p>\n\n
\n
