‹› markdown.serializers ¶

Python-Markdown provides two serializers which render ElementTree.Element objects to a string of HTML. Both functions wrap the same underlying code with only a few minor differences as outlined below:

1. Empty (self-closing) tags are rendered as <tag> for HTML and as <tag /> for XHTML.
2. Boolean attributes are rendered as attrname for HTML and as attrname="attrname" for XHTML.

Functions:

• to_html_string –

  Serialize element and its children to a string of HTML5.

• to_xhtml_string –

  Serialize element and its children to a string of XHTML.
