Provide markdown conversion to your Symfony2 projects.

This implementation is based on Michel Fortin work. We added PHP5 sugar, feature selection, and unit tests.

INSTALLATION

Put MarkdownBundle in a vendor/bundles/Knp/Bundle/MarkdownBundle dir.

USAGE

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

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

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

{{ my_data | markdown }}

Change the parser implementation

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

knp_markdown:
      parser:
              service: my.markdown.parser

This bundle comes with 4 parser services, all based on the same algorithm but providing different levels of compliance to the markdown specification:

• 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

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

TEST

phpunit -c myapp vendor/bundles/Knp/Bundle/MarkdownBundle
