------------

[](#installation)

Via `composer` run following command in your project root:

// to your providers array

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

First need to create classes and set markdown rules:

```
$parser = new Parser();
$lexer = new Lexer();
$renderer = new Renderer();

// Initialize parser with markdown rules
$ruleSet = new MarkdownRuleSet();
$ruleSet->init($parser, $lexer);
```

After it need to set renderer. There are multiple skins, **bootstrap** and **markdown**.

```
// Set bootstrap renderer
$bootstrapSkin = new BootstrapSkin();
$bootstrapSkin->init($parser, $renderer);

// Set markdown renderer
$markdownSkin = new MarkdownSkin();
$markdownSkin->init($parser, $renderer);
```

The bootstrap skin outputs HTML content with [Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com/) tags and styles.

The markdown skin simply outputs markdown content. So this is mainly for testing purposes.

### Syntax

[](#syntax)

- [Paragraphs and Line breaks](#paragraphs-and-line-breaks)
- [Headers](#headers)

#### Paragraphs and Line breaks

[](#paragraphs-and-line-breaks)

The paragraph handling is depending which parser role is set (**traditional** or **gfm**).

If parser mode is **traditional** then paragraph is simply one or more consecutive lines of text, separated by one or more blank lines.

If parser mode is **gfm** then above rule is apply, but single newline open separate line in same paragraph.

```
Here's a line for us to start with.

This line is separated from the one above by two newlines, so it will be a **separate paragraph**.

This line is also a separate paragraph, but...
This line is only separated by a single newline, so it's a separate line in the **same paragraph**.

```
