Embed javascript in markdown

Question

I\'m using the Maruku markdown processor. I\'d like this

*blah* blah \"blah\" in [markdown](blah)



        

Answer 1

Different solution that might work in some cases: (the selected answer didn't work for me when I was trying to embed a CodePen example)

• add this to your default layout:

  <!-- Custom JavaScript files set in YAML front matter -->
  {% for js in page.customjs %}
  <script async type="text/javascript" src="{{ js }}"></script>
  {% endfor %}
  

• In posts where you need some JavaScript files, you can add them in the YAML front matter like so:

  ---
  layout: post
  title: Adding custom JavaScript for a specific post
  category: posts
  customjs:
   - http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js
   - http://yourdomain.com/yourscript.js
  ---
  

The async might not be necessary or wanted but you could probably add that as a parameter in customjs. (see YAML front matter for Jekyll and nested lists for details)

Answer 2

The example they give on their site shows an empty <script> tag containing a newline. Maybe that's it?

Answer 3

Markdown supports inline XHTML but not Javascript.

Answer 4

You could use pandoc, which handles this input (and javascript generally) just fine.

Answer 5

I use this code to write JavaScript code in markdown.

just add js after "```" , and you'll have your JavaScript code highlighted.

 ```js
   const myvar = "hello"
   module.exports.response = response = ()=>{mycode here}
    ```
