Readme Renderer

Readme Renderer is a library that will safely render arbitrary README files into HTML. It is designed to be used in Warehouse_ to render the long_description for packages. It can handle Markdown, reStructuredText (.rst), and plain text.

Check Description Locally

To locally check whether your long descriptions will render on PyPI, first build your distributions, and then use the |twine check|_ command.

Render rST Description Locally

You can use readme_renderer on the command line to render an rST file as HTML like this: ::

python -m readme_renderer README.rst -o /tmp/README.html
