CakePHP 4 plugin to parse markdown syntax in your view templates.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require kitzberger/cakephp-markdown:dev-main

```

Configuration & Usage
-------------------------

[](#configuration--usage)

To your `config/bootstrap.php` file add `\App\Application::addPlugin('Tanuck/Markdown');`

Then, load the helper where needed. For example, in your controller:

```
class FooController extends AppController
{
    public function initialize(): void
    {
        parent::initialize();
        $this->viewBuilder()->setHelpers(['Tanuck/Markdown.Markdown']);
    }
}
```

then in your templates, you can output markdown syntax like so:

```
echo $this->Markdown->transform($myMarkdownSyntax);
```

### Advanced Configuration

[](#advanced-configuration)

Markdown is rendered using the [cebe/markdown](https://github.com/cebe/markdown) library which offers 3 different markdown parser classes.

- Markdown - using the original syntax definition:
- GithubMarkdown - GitHubs own markdown flavour:
- MarkdownExtra - an extension of the original by michelf:

By default, the plugin will use Markdown, the first of the 3 above. However you can specify which of the 3 you use wish to use when loading the helper. Like so:

```
class FooController extends AppController
{
    public function initialize(): void
    {
        parent::initialize();
        $this->viewBuilder()->setHelpers([
			'Tanuck/Markdown.Markdown' => [
				'parser' => 'GithubMarkdown',
			]
		]);
    }
}
```
