Markdown flavor control Leave feedback
On this page
GroupDocs.Markdown supports two Markdown dialects. Call setFlavor on DocumentConvertOptions to control the output.
GFM supports pipe tables, strikethrough text, and other extensions:
import com.groupdocs.markdown.*;
public class FlavorGfm {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DocumentConvertOptions options = new DocumentConvertOptions();
options.setFlavor(MarkdownFlavor.GITHUB);
MarkdownConverter.toFile("business-plan.docx", "flavor-gfm.md", options);
// Tables are rendered as:
// | Column A | Column B |
// | --- | --- |
// | value1 | value2 |
}
}
business-plan.docx is a sample file used in this example. Click here to download it.

Strict CommonMark output. Tables are rendered as fenced code blocks since CommonMark has no native table syntax:
import com.groupdocs.markdown.*;
public class FlavorCommonmark {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DocumentConvertOptions options = new DocumentConvertOptions();
options.setFlavor(MarkdownFlavor.COMMON_MARK);
MarkdownConverter.toFile("business-plan.docx", "flavor-commonmark.md", options);
}
}
