# markit-json [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Minwe/markit-json.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/Minwe/markit-json)

- Parse YAML front matter and Markdown body content with [front-matter][front-matter]
- Compile Markdown to HTML with [markit][marked]

### Install

```bash
$ npm install markit-json --save-dev
```

### Usage

Like any self-respecting gulp plugin, transformed source files will flow onward to the destination of your choice with directory structure preserved. Tinker with [marked’s config][marked-config] by passing an object.

**`gulpfile.js`**

```javascript
var gulp = require('gulp');
var markdown = require('markit-json');

gulp.task('markdown', function(){
  gulp.src('./content/**/*.md')
    .pipe(markdown({
        pedantic: true,
        smartypants: true
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('.'));
});
```
