php-Markdown
============

[](#php-markdown)

### By Nathan Blazek

[](#by-nathan-blazek)

This class was created to take markdown data and to render it into HTML. My specific use case had the markdown data stored in a table record. This class translated it to HTML before rendering it to the page.

#### Installation and Usage

[](#installation-and-usage)

To install, use composer and run this command in the root of your project:

`composer require nathanblazek/php-markdown`

Using this class is simple. Here is the command.

```
ncb\Markdown::render("#Markdown Text Here");
```

Simply insert your markdown text into the render function and you're set.
