Flavors

Overview

You can use flavors (or presets) to set the preferred options automatically. In this way, Showdown behaves like popular Markdown flavors.

Currently, the following flavors are available:

• original: Original Markdown flavor as in John Gruber's spec
• vanilla: Showdown base flavor (v1.3.1 onwards)
• github: GitHub Flavored Markdown, or GFM

Set flavor

=== "Globally"

```js
showdown.setFlavor('github');
```

=== "Locally"

```js
converter.setFlavor('github');
```
