Markdown Extensions

By default, these extensions were enabled. You can add more extensions or disable them.

_md_extensions = [
    "markdown.extensions.meta",
    "markdown.extensions.headerid",
    "markdown.extensions.tables",
    "markdown.extensions.toc",
    "markdown.extensions.fenced_code",
    "markdown.extensions.codehilite",
]

You can customize them in the meta section:

---
title: 这是一个标题
js:
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/menduo/mdtree/master/static/js/mdtree.min.js
css:
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/menduo/mdtree/master/static/css/mdtree.min.css
exts:
    markdown.extensions.wikilinks
    -markdown.extensions.codehilite
---

As you know, markdown.extensions.wikilinks will be added, and -markdown.extensions.codehilite which starts with - will be removed.

The name of the extensioins should be the same as https://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/extensions/#officially-supported-extensions
