Provide the transformation as a helper function?

[Dracks]

Hello,

One question, will it be possible to provide the transform of markdown to bbcode as a helper function? That way we can use only the code of the transform and not need the full component if not needed?

Thanks, Jaume.

By pasting the MarkdownLabel control:

var mdlabel = get_tree().get_root().get_child(0).get_node("MarkdownLabel")

Alternatively, without pasting the control:

var mdlabel = preload("res://addons/markdownlabel/markdownlabel.gd").new()

This way, you can access the MarkdownLabel class.

It seems that you can convert a markdown string to a BBCode string by calling the mdlabel._convert_markdown method.

Thanks to the GDScript language specification.

Closing this since direct conversion is not the purpose of this addon. It can be easily achieved by instancing the class as explained in the previous comment though :)

You could also adapt the MarkdownLabel._convert_markdown function into an static function, for easier use.
