Provide markdown conversion to your Symfony2 projects.

This implementation is based on Michel Fortin work. We added PHP5 sugar, feature selection, and unit tests.

INSTALLATION

Add the following entry to deps the run php bin/vendors install.

[KnpMarkdownBundle]
    git=http://github.com/KnpLabs/KnpMarkdownBundle.git
    target=/bundles/Knp/Bundle/MarkdownBundle

Register the bundle in app/AppKernel.php

$bundles = array(
    // ...
    new Knp\Bundle\MarkdownBundle\KnpMarkdownBundle(),
);

Register namespace in app/autoload.php

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    // ...
    'Knp'              => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
));

USAGE

// Use the service
$html = $this->container->get('markdown.parser')->transform($text);

// Use the helper
echo $view['markdown']->transform($text);

If you have enabled the twig markdown filter, you can use the following in your twig templates:

{{ my_data | markdown }}

Change the parser implementation

Create a service implementing Knp\Bundle\MarkdownBundle\ParserInterface, then configure the bundle to use it:

knp_markdown:
      parser:
              service: my.markdown.parser

This bundle comes with 4 parser services, all based on the same algorithm but providing different levels of compliance to the markdown specification:

• markdown.parser.max // fully compliant = slower (default implementation)
• markdown.parser.medium // expensive and uncommon features dropped
• markdown.parser.light // expensive features dropped
• markdown.parser.min // most features dropped = faster

For more details, see the implementations in Parser/Preset.

TEST

phpunit -c myapp vendor/bundles/Knp/Bundle/MarkdownBundle
