Parcel 2: Markdown transformer

[devongovett]

Create the @parcel/transformer-markdown package in packages/transforms/markdown. This package is a Parcel 2 transform plugin for markdown. It should be based on the MarkdownAsset from Parcel 1.

The @parcel/transformer-markdown package is responsible for the following things:

• Compiling markdown to HTML using marked

I am interested interested in working on this!

[devongovett]

Awesome @JosephMart! Let us know if you have any questions.

Here's some code that does a bunch of stuff already with Markdown:
#2882

We could rewrite it as a transformer and there you go. @JosephMart wanna pair up on that?

Is there any update on this feature? Or is there even a Plugin that does work for Parcel v2?

https://github.com/jonathantneal/posthtml-md can be used for some limited support in html being bundled with parcel :)

It's also worth mentioning that there exists a MDX transformer for those of you using React.
I'm assuming the work required isn't too bad so I might try throwing something together in the next couple of days for those after plain old markdown.

It seems like a transformer here could actually be used for static site generation. Could the transformer also resolve a template function that wraps the resulting HTML?

Use parcel-transformer-markdown.

You can also use my plugin for MDX 3: https://github.com/EasyWebApp/Parcel-transformer-MDX

There's also parcel-transform-remark, although it seems to have the wrong name.

Going to close this. I don't have the bandwidth to implement and maintain this. It would be great as a third party plugin if someone wants to build it!
