Requirements

[](#requirements)

- Croogo 2.2 -
- PHP 5.3.3

Advanced usage
--------------

[](#advanced-usage)

When markdown text is rendered into HTML, a number of Croogo hooks are triggered. This makes it possible to alter the behaviour of the [CommonMark](http://commonmark.thephpleague.com/) library.

The hooks are:

- `Helper.Markdown.beforeMarkdownParse` - Receives two arguments and is triggered after the CommonMark environment is created, but before the AST is generated. The arguments are: \*\* `environment` - the CommonMark environment object \*\* `markdown` - the text that will be rendered.
- `Helper.Markdown.beforeMarkdownRender` - Receives one argument, and is triggered after the AST is generated, but before the HTML is rendered. \*\* `ast` - The CommonMark AST document
- `Helper.Markdown.afterMarkdownRender` - Receives one argument, and is triggered after the HTML is generated. \*\* `rendered` - The rendered HTML

Custom parsers and renderers
============================

[](#custom-parsers-and-renderers)

Using the hooks, it is possible to implement your own custom block or inline parser and renderer. For example, to implement the twitter example given in the [CommonMark documentation](http://commonmark.thephpleague.com/customization/inline-parsing/#example-1---twitter-handles)you could do the following:

```
//Config/bootstrap.php
CakeEventManager::instance()->attach(function ($event) {
	//Assuming that you've created the TwitterHandleParser in Lib/
	App::uses('TwitterHandleParser', 'Lib');
	$event->data['environment']->addInlineParser(new TwitterHandleParser());
}, 'Helper.Markdown.beforeMarkdownParse');
```
