Creating a new token

[lulutche]

Hi guys ! I'm actually trying to retrieve some metadata in a Github Flavor Markdown file. So i tried to create a token named "color" with that type of structure "[//]: # (metadata)". But actually my tokenizer don't recognize this like my new token but as a "link" token.Here is my code and the logs when i run this.

const marked = require ('marked');

const tokenizer = {
    color(src) {
        const match = src.match("(\[\/\/]: #) \(\w*\)");
        if (match) {
            return {
                type: 'color',
                text: match[0],
                raw: match[0]
            }
        }
        return false;
    }
}


marked.use({tokenizer});

const md = "
  [color]:<red>
  [test]:(test)
  
  [//]: # (red)
  
";

const tokens = marked.lexer(md);
console.log(tokens);

const html = marked.parser(tokens);
console.log(html);
console.log("Here it recognize as a link token instead of my color token");

src = "[//]: # (red)";
match = src.match(/\[\/\/]: # \([a-z]*\)/);
console.log(match[0]);
console.log("Here my regExp is right and recognize this structure");

What am i doing wrong ?
Thanks for your help.

There is no color tokenizer. The list of tokenizers can be found in the docs. There is a proposal for a way to add tokenizers (#1872) but it isn't finished yet.
