Bit&Black Markdown-IDML-Converter
=====================================

[](#bitblack-markdown-idml-converter)

Convert Markdown into (parts of) Adobe InDesign Markup Language Files (IDML).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This library is written in [PHP](https://www.php.net) and made for the use with [Composer](https://packagist.org/packages/bitandblack/markdown-idml-converter). Be sure to have both of them installed on your system.

As this library requires the [IDML Creator](https://www.idml.dev/en/idml-creator-php.html) — which requires a licence — be sure to get one at first. If not already part of your project, add the Composer credentials. (This is explained for example [here](https://www.idml.dev/en/idml-creator-php/installation.html).)

Add the library then to your project by running `$ composer require bitandblack/markdown-idml-converter`.

Usage
