Silex-Markdown

A lightweight markdown service provider for Silex. Uses the Dragonfly markdown parser.

Installation

Recommended installation is through composer. Just add the following to your composer.json file:

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

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

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

• 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

If you wish to run the tests you need to have 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.)
