Markdown parser for [Lithium PHP](http://lithify.me)
====================================================

[](#markdown-parser-for-lithium-php)

I forked this library in order to add better lithium support. Making a public version of the helper will allow you to also call this same functionality in your controller files.

Lithium library for parsing markdown, uses [PHP Markdown Extra Extended](https://github.com/egil/php-markdown-extra-extended).

PHP Markdown Extra version: `1.2.4`

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

[](#installation)

### Use Composer

[](#use-composer)

**Best Option**

Modify your projects `composer.json` file

```
{
    "require": {
    	...
        "johnny13/li3_markdown": "master"
        ...
    }
}
```

Run `php composer.phar install` (or `php composer.phar update`) and, aside from adding it to your Libraries, you should be good to go.

### Submodule or Clone

[](#submodule-or-clone)

> Select one of the following

Clone/Download the plugin into your app's `libraries` directory.

**Submodule**

From your `app` directory:

```
git submodule add git://github.com/johnny13/li3_markdown.git libraries/li3_markdown

```

**Clone**

From your `app/libraries` directory:

```
git clone git://github.com/johnny13/li3_markdown.git

```

Usage:
------

[](#usage)

To enable the library add the following line at the end of `app/config/bootstrap/libraries.php`:

```
Libraries::add('li3_markdown');

```

### Controller Files

[](#controller-files)

You can easily process text in any controller file like so:

```
 //Include the helper in your controller
 use li3_markdown\extensions\helper\Markdown;

 ...

 //Later in your function turn raw text to markdown
 $beauty = Markdown::rendermarkdown($rawtext);

```

### Markdown Views

[](#markdown-views)

To parse an entire view with markdown simply name your template something similar to:

```
view_name.md.php

```

the renderer will see that it's a markdown template and render it, otherwise it will render it like normal.

### Selective Rendering

[](#selective-rendering)

> This is a helper method that allows you to selectively render text thru the markdown parser. To render the result within a template file simply call the `markdown` helper and run `display`:

```

```

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

[](#installation-1)

Add a submodule to your li3 libraries:

```
git submodule add git@github.com:johnny13/li3_markdown.git libraries/li3_markdown

```

and activate it in you app (config/bootstrap/libraries.php), of course:

```
Libraries::add('li3_markdown');

```
