Standalone versions of some extended features are also available as separate libraries: - [Parsedown Toc](https://github.com/BenjaminHoegh/ParsedownToc) - [Parsedown Math](https://github.com/BenjaminHoegh/ParsedownMath) Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 7.4 or newer - Parsedown 1.8 or newer - Parsedown Extra 0.9 or newer when using Composer-installed dependencies Getting started --------------- [](#getting-started) Install with Composer: ``` composer require benjaminhoegh/parsedown-extended ``` Then include Composer's autoloader and create a parser instance: ``` require 'vendor/autoload.php'; use BenjaminHoegh\ParsedownExtended\ParsedownExtended; $parsedown = new ParsedownExtended(); echo $parsedown->text('Hello _Parsedown_!'); ``` For inline Markdown only, use the inherited `line()` method: ``` echo $parsedown->line('Hello _Parsedown_!'); ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) ParsedownExtended exposes a configuration handler through `config()`. ``` $parsedown = new ParsedownExtended(); $parsedown->config()->set('toc', true); $parsedown->config()->set('toc.levels', ['h1', 'h2', 'h3']); $parsedown->config()->set('math.enabled', true); $parsedown->config()->set('allow_raw_html', false); ``` Grouped configuration is also supported: ``` $parsedown->config()->set('toc', [ 'levels' => ['h1', 'h2', 'h3'], 'tag' => '[TOC]', 'id' => 'table-of-contents', ]); ``` For the full supported API and configuration paths, see the [Documentation](https://benjaminhoegh.github.io/ParsedownExtended/). Table of contents ----------------- [](#table-of-contents) Use `text()` when you want `[TOC]` replaced automatically: ``` echo $parsedown->text($markdown); ``` Use `body()` and `contentsList()` when you want to render the document and table of contents separately: ``` $body = $parsedown->body($markdown); $toc = $parsedown->contentsList(); echo $toc; echo $body; ``` Security -------- [](#security) ParsedownExtended is a Markdown parser extension, not an HTML sanitizer. If you render Markdown from untrusted users, review your `allow_raw_html` setting and sanitize the generated HTML according to your application's threat model. Please do not open public issues for suspected security vulnerabilities. See [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for reporting instructions.
