Provide markdown conversion (based on Michel Fortin work) to your Symfony2 projects.

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/445545dbfc979917fd005ce17b5d120e6fa3ca7bba8f6a79974ffe2930b6dc66/68747470733a2f2f7365637572652e7472617669732d63692e6f72672f4b6e704c6162732f4b6e704d61726b646f776e42756e646c652e706e67)](http://travis-ci.org/KnpLabs/KnpMarkdownBundle)

INSTALLATION
------------

[](#installation)

Add KnpMarkdownBundle to your `composer.json`

```
{
    "require": {
        "knplabs/knp-markdown-bundle": "~1.3"
    }
}
```

Register the bundle in `app/AppKernel.php`

```
$bundles = array(
    // ...
    new Knp\Bundle\MarkdownBundle\KnpMarkdownBundle(),
);
```

USAGE
-----

[](#usage)

```
// Use the service
$html = $this->container->get('markdown.parser')->transformMarkdown($text);

// Use the helper with default parser
echo $view['markdown']->transform($text);

// Use the helper and a select specific parser
echo $view['markdown']->transform($text, $parserName);
```

If you have enabled the Twig markdown filter, you can use the following in your Twig templates:

```
{# Use default parser #}
{{ my_data|markdown }}

{# Or select specific parser #}
{{ my_data|markdown('parserName') }}
```

Change the parser implementation
--------------------------------

[](#change-the-parser-implementation)

Create a service implementing `Knp\Bundle\MarkdownBundle\MarkdownParserInterface`, then configure the bundle to use it:

```
knp_markdown:
    parser:
        service: my.markdown.parser
```

Alternatively if you are using the `markdown.parser.sundown` there are options for enabling sundown extensions and render flags, see the default Configuration with:

```
php app/console config:dump-reference knp_markdown

```

This bundle comes with 5 parser services, 4 based on the same algorithm but providing different levels of compliance to the markdown specification, and one which is uses the php sundown extension:

```
- markdown.parser.max       // fully compliant = slower (default implementation)
- markdown.parser.medium    // expensive and uncommon features dropped
- markdown.parser.light     // expensive features dropped
- markdown.parser.min       // most features dropped = faster
- markdown.parser.sundown   // faster and fully compliant (recommended)

```

`markdown.parser.sundown` requires the [php sundown extension](https://github.com/chobie/php-sundown).

For more details, see the implementations in Parser/Preset.

TEST
----
