contentful api markdown conversion to HTML

Question

Is there any simple way to convert markdown text from contentful api to render into html code to be display on html page. I have tried using pagedown and some similar techniques

Answer 1

Here's how I did it with React:

class NewsDetail extends React.Component {
    render() {
        const body = marked(this.props.body || "");
        return (
                

                
{this.props.title}
                

                
        );
    }
}

The markdown content is stored in the body attribute of the NewsDetail tag (via a short function that maps contentful data structure to my app structure).

The HTML page has this script tag to pull in the marked function:
