HTML Auto <p>

This library provides a function like wpautop in Wordpress. It uses a group of regex replaces used to identify text formatted with newlines and replace double line-breaks with HTML paragraph tags.

Someone who familiars with HTML would prefer directly writing plain HTML instead of using an editor like TinyMCE or Gutenberg. However, it takes time to manually add newlines and paragraphs in HTML. Wordpress provides a handy function called wpautop which can replace double line-breaks with paragraph elements (<p>) and convert remaining line-breaks to <br> elements.

The auto_p function in this library can be used like wpautop.

use html_auto_p::*;

assert_eq!("<p>Hello world!</p>", auto_p("Hello world!", Options::new()));
assert_eq!("<p>Line 1<br>\nLine 2</p>", auto_p("Line 1\nLine 2", Options::new().br(true)));
assert_eq!("<p>Line 1<br>\nLine 2</p>", auto_p("Line 1<br>\nLine 2", Options::new().br(true)));
assert_eq!("<p>Paragraph 1</p>\n<p>Paragraph 2</p>", auto_p("Paragraph 1\n\nParagraph 2", Options::new()));
assert_eq!("<pre>Line 1<br>\nLine 2</pre>", auto_p("<pre>Line 1<br>\nLine 2</pre>", Options::new().br(true)));
assert_eq!("<pre>Line 1&lt;br&gt;\nLine 2</pre>", auto_p("<pre>Line 1<br>\nLine 2</pre>", Options::new().br(true).esc_pre(true)));
assert_eq!("<pre>Line 1\nLine 2</pre>", auto_p("<pre>\nLine 1\nLine 2\n</pre>", Options::new().remove_useless_newlines_in_pre(true)));
