title: Webgen::ContentProcessor::Maruku
---
## Description

This processor converts the content, which is assumed to be in Markdown markup, to HTML by using the
Maruku library. Maruku is a Markdown processor which supports a superset of Markdown, including
support for assigning ids and classes to every element, support for Markdown inside HTML elements
and footnotes. The short name of the processor is `maruku`!

For detailed information about Maruku have a look at the [Maruku Homepage][1]. There you will find
information about the general Markdown syntax as well as information about the extras added by
Maruku.

> Maruku is the default markup content processor for webgen as its markup syntax is easy to learn
> and nice to look at. Give it a try!

Example
-------

Here is a short sample of a text in Markdown+Extras markup:

    # This a h1 header    {#myid}

    You can just write *your* paragraphs here and
    [link][1] them below. This is **nice** format!

    > Citations are easy too.
    > Really. And you can assign them attributes.
