CakePHP 3 plugin to parse markdown syntax in your view templates.

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

[](#installation)

Include the following in your `composer.json` file:

```
    "require": {
        "tanuck/cakephp-markdown": "dev-master"
    }

```

and then run:

`composer update`

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

[](#configuration--usage)

To your `config/bootstrap.php` file add `Plugin::load('Tanuck/Markdown');`

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

```
    class FooController extends AppController
    {
        public $helpers = ['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 $helpers = [
            'Tanuck/Markdown.Markdown' => [
                'parser' => 'GithubMarkdown'
            ]
        ];
    }
```
