MarkdownPhpDocs
===============

[](#markdownphpdocs)

Very hastily thrown together package to generate `*.md` files from a slightly customised version of phpdoc.

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

[![Tutorial](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/a2b6e45f9b74288aaea5f71ebd3e0434ae903bc0eb2870bbd9f6caf5ccf61031/68747470733a2f2f696d672e796f75747562652e636f6d2f76692f4938644d637132353968382f302e6a7067)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8dMcq259h8)

Installation:
-------------

[](#installation)

```
git clone https://github.com/aidantwoods/MarkdownPhpDocs
cd MarkdownPhpDocs
composer update
```

You can then either directly run the file `markdown-phpdoc` located in the `bin` directory, or add this bin directory to your `~/.bash_profile` to run from anywhere. e.g. by adding the lines:

```
PATH="[local-file-path-goes-here]/MarkdownPhpDocs/bin:${PATH}"
export PATH
```

> Note that you'll need composer to pull down the the customised version of phpdoc as a dependency ([available here](https://github.com/aidantwoods/phpDocumentor2/tree/no-markdown)), which serves to disable markdown processing in phpdoc (this to avoid markdown ending up within HTML, and thus not being ignored by most markdown parsers).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
markdown-phpdoc -f [input file] -t [target directory]

```
