v2.6.0

What's New

Features

• Support for indented code blocks (#47): Code blocks inside list items or other indented contexts now work correctly. The indentation is stripped from code before execution and re-added to output. Fixes #11.

Bug Fixes

• Fix examples.md template (#45): Escape comment markers and remove orphaned content from the template.

Documentation

• Developer notes (#46): Added documentation explaining the recursion problem and solution patterns (CODE:SKIP, PLACEHOLDER, nested HTML comment escaping).

Maintenance

• Switch to ruff format (#48): Replace black with ruff-format in pre-commit, standardize line length to 120 characters, and migrate to modern ruff.lint.* config sections.

v2.5.0

New Features

Standardize Code Fences for External Markdown Processors

Added new CLI flags and Python API parameters to standardize code fences, making output compatible with markdown processors like mkdocs, Zensical, and pandoc that don't understand the python markdown-code-runner syntax.

CLI

# Execute code AND standardize all code fences
markdown-code-runner --standardize input.md
markdown-code-runner -s input.md

# Only standardize without executing code
markdown-code-runner --no-execute --standardize input.md
markdown-code-runner -n -s input.md

Python API

from markdown_code_runner import update_markdown_file, standardize_code_fences

# Execute and standardize in one pass
update_markdown_file("README.md", "output.md", standardize=True)

# Only standardize, skip execution
update_markdown_file("README.md", "output.md", execute=False, standardize=True)

# Use the utility function directly
clean_content = standardize_code_fences(content)

What It Does

The --standardize flag post-processes output to transform code fences like:

```python markdown-code-runner
print('hello')
```

Into standard code fences:

```python
print('hello')
```
