Syntax

APEX_MARKDOWN.TO_HTML (
    p_markdown              IN CLOB,
    p_embedded_html_mode    IN t_embedded_html_mode DEFAULT c_embedded_html_escape,

Parameters

Table 36-1 TO_HTML Parameters

Parameter	Description
`p_markdown`	The Markdown text content to be converted to HTML.
`p_embedded_html_mode`	Specify what should happen with embedded HTML. By default it is escaped. Set this option to `C_EMBEDDED_HTML_PRESERVE` for it to be preserved. Note that this option has security implications and should only ever be used on trusted input.
`p_softbreak`	Specify a raw string to be used for a softbreak, such as `apex_application.LF`. If none is specified, uses `<br />`.
`p_extra_link_attributes`	A plist of additional HTML attributes for anchor elements. For example, to open all links in new tabs, set this parameter to `apex_t_varchar2('target', '_blank')`
