Attributes for inline container

Add {...} at the beginning or the end in the inline container.

Output:

<ul>
<li class="a">x1</li>
<li class="b">x2</li>
<li>x3</li>
</ul>

th / td

Example Input:

|h1{.a}|h2{.b}|
|------|------|
|d1{.c}|d2{.d}|

Output:

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="a">h1</th>
<th class="b">h2</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="c">d1</td>
<td class="d">d2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Attributes for block

Add {...} BEFORE the block.

header

Example Input:

# h1

Output:

<h1 class="a">h1</h1>

list

<table class="c">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>h1</th>
<th>h2</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>d1</td>

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Usage

const md = require('markdown-it')();
const mia = require('@sup39/markdown-it-attr');

console.log(md.use(mia).render(`
{#head-id}
# head
`));

Expected output:

<h1 id="head-id">head</h1>

Extension: Attributes for tr

To make adding attributes to `tr` work, it is required to use [@sup39/markdown-it-raw-table](https://github.com/sup39/markdown-it-raw-table) plugin, in order to prevent forcing td count to be equal to th count, which eliminates the attributes of `tr`.

const md = require('markdown-it')();
const mia = require('@sup39/markdown-it-attr');
const mrt = require('@sup39/markdown-it-raw-table');

// enable raw_table_tr rule
mia.inlineAttrsApplyRules.find(e=>e.name==='raw_table_tr').disabled = false;

console.log(md.use(mia).use(mrt).render(`
| h1 | h2 | h3 {.ch} |
| -- | -- | -- |
| x1 | x2 {.c2} | x3 {rowspan=2} | {.r1}
| x4 {colspan=2 .c4} | {.r2}
`));

Expected output:

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>h1</th>
<th>h2</th>
<th class="ch">h3</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="r1">
<td>x1</td>
<td class="c2">x2</td>
<td rowspan="2" class="c3">x3</td>
</tr>
<tr class="r2">
<td colspan="2" class="c4">x4</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

h1	h2	h3
x1	x2	x3
x4

Note that adding attributes to tr of the th row is NOT available.
