# Python-Markdown Forge-Links Extension

This is[^1] a fork of the [Python-Markdown Github-Links Extension](https://pypi.org/project/mdx-gh-links/)
for use with your [Forgejo](https://forgejo.org/) instance or hosted service,
or any other [software forge](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge_(software)),
that uses the same URL patterns.

[^1]: As [suggested by the author](https://github.com/Python-Markdown/github-links/issues/7#issuecomment-377251776).

## Installation

To install the extension, run the following command:

```sh
pip install mdx-forge-links
```

## Usage

To use the extension, simply include its name in the list of extensions passed to
Python-Markdown.

```python
import markdown

markdown.markdown(src, extensions=['mdx_forge_links'])
```

Or, with [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/), add `mdx_forge_links` to the
[`markdown_extensions` setting](https://www.mkdocs.org/user-guide/configuration/#markdown_extensions).

### Configuration Options

To set configuration options, you may pass them to Markdown's `exension_configs`
keyword...

```python
markdown.markdown(
    src,
    extensions=['mdx_forge_links'],
    extension_configs={
        'mdx_forge_links': {
            'user': 'foo',
            'repo': 'bar',
            'base_url': 'https://codeberg.org',
        }
    },
)
```

... or you may import and pass the configs directly to an instance of the
`mdx_forge_links.ForgeLinks` class...

```python
from mdx_forge_links import ForgeLinks

markdown.markdown(
    src,
    extensions=[ForgeLinks(user='foo', repo='bar', base_url='https://codeberg.org')],
)
```

... or, with MkDocs...

```yaml
markdown_extensions:
  - mdx_forge_links:
      user: foo
      repo: bar
      base_url: https://codeberg.org
```

The following configuration options are available:

#### `user`

A user name or organization. If no user or organization is specified in a link,
then the value of this option will be used.

#### `repo`

A repository. If no repository is specified in a link, then the value of this
option will be used.

#### `base_url`

The base URL of the server for the repository (e.g. `https://codeberg.org`).

## Syntax

This extension implements shorthand to specify links to your software forge in
various ways.

All links in the generated HTML are assigned a `forge-link` class as well as a class
unique to that type of link. See each type for the specific class assigned.

### Mentions

Link directly to a user, organization or repository. Note that no verification
is made that an actual user, organization or repository exists. As the syntax
does not differentiate between users and organizations, all organizations are
assumed to be users. However, this assumption is only reflected in the title of
a link.

Mentions use the format `@{user}` to link to a user or organization and
`@{user}/{repo}` to link to a repository. The defaults defined in the
configuration options are ignored by mentions. A mention may be escaped by
adding a backslash immediately before the at sign (`@`).

All mentions are assigned the `forge-mention` class.

The following table provides some examples:

| shorthand   | href                           | rendered result                                                 |
| ----------- | ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------|
| `@foo`      | `https://codeberg.org/foo`     | [@foo](https://codeberg.org/foo "User: @foo")                   |
| `@foo/bar`  | `https://codeberg.org/foo/bar` | [@foo/bar](https://codeberg.org/foo/bar "Repository: @foo/bar") |
| `\@foo`     |                                | @foo                                                            |
| `\@foo/bar` |                                | @foo/bar                                                        |

### Issues

Link directly to an issue or pull request (PR). Note that no verification is
made that an actual issue or PR exists. As the syntax does not differentiate
between Issues and PRs, all URLs point to "issues". Fortunately, GitHub will
properly redirect an issue URL to a PR URL if appropriate.

Issue links use the format `#{num}` or `{user}/{repo}#{num}`. `{num}` is the
number assigned to the issue or PR. `{user}` and `{repo}` will use the
defaults defined in the configuration options if not provided. An issue link may
be escaped by adding a backslash immediately before the hash mark (`#`).

All issue links are assigned the `forge-issue` class.

The following table provides various examples (with the defaults set as
`user='user', repo='repo', base_url='https://codeberg.org'`):

| shorthand      | href                                         | rendered result                                                              |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `#123`         | `https://codeberg.org/user/repo/issues/123`  | [#123](https://codeberg.org/user/repo/issues/123 "Issue user/repo #123")     |
| `foo/bar#123`  | `https://codeberg.org/foo/bar/issues/123`    | [foo/bar#123](https://codeberg.org/foo/bar/issues/123 "Issue foo/bar #123")  |
| `\#123`        |                                              | #123                                                                         |
| `foo/bar\#123` |                                              | foo/bar#123                                                                  |

### Commits

Link directly to a commit. Note that no verification is made that an actual
commit exists.

Commit links consist of a complete 40 character SHA hash and may optionally be
prefaced by `{user}@` or `{user/repo}@`. `{user}` and `{repo}` will use the
defaults defined in the configuration options if not provided. To avoid a 40
character hash from being linked, wrap it in a code span.

All commit links are assigned the `forge-commit` class.

The following table provides various examples (with the defaults set as
`user='user', repo='repo', base_url='https://codeberg.org'`):

| shorthand                                          | href                                                                              | rendered result                                                                                                                                            |
