Link Robins Markdown Widget
===========================

[](#link-robins-markdown-widget)

A simple Markdown widget for [Flarum 2.0](https://flarum.org), built as a widget for [`fof/forum-widgets-core`](https://packagist.org/packages/fof/forum-widgets-core). Same skeleton as [`linkrobins/html-widget`](https://packagist.org/packages/linkrobins/html-widget), with a Markdown renderer in front of the body.

What it does
------------

[](#what-it-does)

Adds one configurable Markdown widget to the FoF Forum Widgets placement editor. Admin sets:

- **Title** — optional, shown above the body
- **Icon** — FontAwesome class (e.g. `fab fa-markdown`)
- **Markdown body** — standard GitHub-flavored Markdown, rendered to HTML on the client

Drag and place it from the FoF Forum Widgets admin page like any other widget.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- Flarum **2.0** or later
- [`fof/forum-widgets-core`](https://packagist.org/packages/fof/forum-widgets-core) installed and enabled

The Markdown renderer ([marked](https://marked.js.org/)) and the HTML sanitiser ([DOMPurify](https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify)) are bundled into the extension — nothing is fetched from a CDN at runtime.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require linkrobins/markdown-widget
php flarum cache:clear

```

In Flarum admin → **Extensions**, find **Link Robins Markdown** under the **Forum Widgets** category and enable it. Configure title/icon/body, then go to FoF Forum Widgets settings and place it where you want it.

Markdown features
-----------------

[](#markdown-features)

Supports the full Markdown syntax that marked.js handles, including:

- Headings (`# H1`, `## H2`, ...)
- Bold (`**bold**`) and italic (`*italic*`)
- Lists (ordered and unordered)
- Links and images
- Code spans and fenced code blocks
- Blockquotes
- Tables (GFM)
- Horizontal rules
- Inline HTML (sanitised before display)

The widget styles headings, lists, code, blockquotes, and tables to fit cleanly in any placement.

Security note
-------------

[](#security-note)

The rendered HTML is passed through [DOMPurify](https://github.com/cure53/DOMPurify) before display, so `` tags, event-handler attributes, and other unsafe markup in the Markdown body are stripped. The body is still admin-only — treat it like any other admin-controlled content.
