Silex-Markdown
==============

[](#silex-markdown)

A lightweight markdown service provider for Silex. Uses the [Dragonfly](https://github.com/dflydev/dflydev-markdown) markdown parser.

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

[](#installation)

Recommended installation is [through composer](http://getcomposer.org). Just add the following to your `composer.json` file:

```
{
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "require": {
        "nicl/silex-markdown": "1.0.*"
    }
}

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To use the service provider first register it:

```
$app->register(new MarkdownServiceProvider());

```

You can then use the markdown filter in Twig files. For example:

```
{{ '#Hello World'|markdown }}

```

In addition, you also have access to the Markdown parser itself. Simply instantiate it and call the `transformMarkdown` method as follows:

```
use dflydev\markdown\MarkdownParser;

$parser = new MarkdownParser();
$parser->transformMarkdown($txt);

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Parameters

[](#parameters)

- **markdown.factory**: Name of the service that will create `dflydev\markdown\IMarkdownParser` instances, string.
- **markdown.parser**: Name of the built-in parser to use, string. *Default: markdown*

    Available options:

    - **markdown**: Standard Markdown parser
    - **extra**: Markdown Extra parser

### Services

[](#services)

- **markdown**: Markdown parser, instance of `dflydev\markdown\IMarkdownParser`.

    If **markdown.factory** is defined, that service will be used to create the `IMarkdownParser` instance. Otherwise, **markdown.parser**will be examined and an instance of the appropriate class will be instantiated.

Tests
-----

[](#tests)

If you wish to run the tests you need to have [PHPUnit](https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/) installed. Then, from the silex-markdown root directory run:

```
phpunit

```

(You may need to adapt the phpunit command and paths depending on your configuration.)
