`):
```js
var hljs = require('highlight.js'); // https://highlightjs.org/
// Actual default values
var md = require('markdown-it')({
highlight: function (str, lang) {
if (lang && hljs.getLanguage(lang)) {
try {
return '' +
hljs.highlight(str, { language: lang, ignoreIllegals: true }).value +
'
';
} catch (__) {}
}
return '' + md.utils.escapeHtml(str) + '
';
}
});
```
### Linkify
`linkify: true` uses [linkify-it](https://github.com/markdown-it/linkify-it). To
configure linkify-it, access the linkify instance through `md.linkify`:
```js
md.linkify.set({ fuzzyEmail: false }); // disables converting email to link
```

### Manage rules
By default all rules are enabled, but can be restricted by options. On plugin
load all its rules are enabled automatically.
```js
// Activate/deactivate rules, with curring
var md = require('markdown-it')()
.disable([ 'link', 'image' ])
.enable([ 'link' ])
.enable('image');
// Enable everything
md = require('markdown-it')({
html: true,
linkify: true,
typographer: true,
});
```
You can find all rules in sources:
[parser_core.js](lib/parser_core.js), [parser_block](lib/parser_block.js),
[parser_inline](lib/parser_inline.js).
## Benchmark
Here is the result of readme parse at MB Pro Retina 2013 (2.4 GHz):
```bash
make benchmark-deps
benchmark/benchmark.js readme
Selected samples: (1 of 28)
> README
Sample: README.md (7774 bytes)
> commonmark-reference x 1,222 ops/sec ±0.96% (97 runs sampled)
> current x 743 ops/sec ±0.84% (97 runs sampled)
> current-commonmark x 1,568 ops/sec ±0.84% (98 runs sampled)
> marked x 1,587 ops/sec ±4.31% (93 runs sampled)
```
__Note.__ CommonMark version runs with [simplified link normalizers](https://github.com/markdown-it/markdown-it/blob/master/benchmark/implementations/current-commonmark/index.js)
for more "honest" compare. Difference is ~ 1.5x.
As you can see, `markdown-it` doesn't pay with speed for it's flexibility.
Slowdown of "full" version caused by additional features not available in
other implementations.
