PHPDocumentor MarkDown export
=============================

[](#phpdocumentor-markdown-export)

This script will generate markdown (.md) API documentation files from a PHPDocumentor XML output file.

It only documents classes and interfaces.

This project was originally developed by [Evert Pot](https://twitter.com/evertp). See his [repo](https://github.com/evert/phpdoc-md) for more details.

Take a look at some [Example Markdown API Docs](https://github.com/MESD/SettingsBundle/blob/master/Resources/doc/api/ApiIndex.md).

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

[](#installation)

This project assumes you have composer installed.

```
$ composer require dcramble/phpdoc-md "~0.1"
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First ensure that phpdocumentor 2 is installed somewhere, after, you must generate a file called `structure.xml`.

The easiest is to create a temporary directory, for example named `docs/` as phpDocumentor2 creates a lot of 'cache' directories.

```
# phpdoc command
mkdir docs
cd docs
phpdoc  -d [project path] -t . --template="xml"
rm -r phpdoc-cache-*

# Next, run phpdocmd:
phpdocmd structure.xml [outputdir]

```

Options
-------

[](#options)

```
--lt [template]
    This specifies the 'template' for links we're generating. By default
    this is "%c.md".

--namespaced-names
    This specifies the fully qualified classes, with namespaces, should
    be printed.

```

This should generate all the .md files.
