PHP Markdown

PHP Markdown Lib 1.3 - 11 Apr 2013

by Michel Fortin

based on Markdown by John Gruber
http://daringfireball.net/

Introduction

This is a library package that includes the PHP Markdown parser and its sibling PHP Markdown Extra which additional features.

Markdown is a text-to-HTML conversion tool for web writers. Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, then convert it to structurally valid XHTML (or HTML).

"Markdown" is two things: a plain text markup syntax, and a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text markup to HTML. PHP Markdown is a port to PHP of the original Markdown program by John Gruber.

PHP Markdown can work as a plug-in for WordPress, as a modifier for the Smarty templating engine, or as a replacement for Textile formatting in any software that supports Textile.

Full documentation of Markdown's syntax is available on John's Markdown page: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/

Requirement

This library package requires PHP 5.3 or later.

Note: The older plugin/library hybrid package for PHP Markdown and PHP Markdown Extra is still maintained and will work with PHP 4.0.5 and later.

Before PHP 5.3.7, pcre.backtrack_limit defaults to 100 000, which is too small in many situations. You might need to set it to higher values. Later PHP releases defaults to 1 000 000, which is usually fine.

Usage

This library package is meant to be used with class autoloading. For autoloading to work, your project needs have setup a PSR-0-compatible autoloader. See the included Readme.php file for a minimal autoloader setup. (If you don't want to use autoloading you can do a classic require_once to manually include the files prior use instead.)

With class autoloading in place, putting the 'Michelf' folder in your include path should be enough for this to work:

use \Michelf\Markdown;
$my_html = Markdown::defaultTransform($my_text);

Markdown Extra syntax is also available the same way:

use \Michelf\MarkdownExtra;
$my_html = MarkdownExtra::defaultTransform($my_text);

If you wish to use PHP Markdown with another text filter function built to parse HTML, you should filter the text after the transform function call. This is an example with [PHP SmartyPants][psp]:

use \Michelf\Markdown, \Michelf\SmartyPants;
$my_html = Markdown::defaultTransform($my_text);
$my_html = SmartyPants::defaultTransform($my_html);

All these examples are using the static defaultTransform static function found inside the parser class. If you want to customize the parser configuration, you can also instantiate it directly and change some configuration variables:

use \Michelf\MarkdownExtra;
$parser = new MarkdownExtra;
$parser->fn_id_prefix = "post22-";
$my_html = $parser->transform($my_text);

Public API and Versionning Policy

Version numbers are of the form major.minor.patch.

The public API of PHP Markdown consist of the two parser classes Markdown and MarkdownExtra, their constructors, the transform and defaultTransform functions and their configuration variables. The public API is stable for a given major version number. It might get additions when the minor version number increments.

Protected members are not considered public API. This is unconventionnal and deserves an explanation. Incrementing the major version number every time the underlying implementation of something changes is going to give nonsential version numbers for the vast majority of people who just use the parser. Protected members are meant to create parser subclasses that behave in different ways. Very few people create parser subclasses. I don't want to discourage it by making everything private, but at the same time I can't guarenty any stable hook between versions if you use protected members.

Syntax changes will increment the minor number for new features, and the patch number for small corrections. A new feature is something that needs a change in the syntax documentation. Note that since PHP Markdown Lib includes two parsers, a syntax change for either of them will increment the minor number. Also note that there is nothigng perfectly backward-compatible with the Markdown syntax: all inputs are always valid, so new features always replace something that was previously legal, although generally non-sensial to do.

Bugs

To file bug reports please send email to: michel.fortin@michelf.ca

Please include with your report: (1) the example input; (2) the output you expected; (3) the output PHP Markdown actually produced.

If you have a problem where Markdown gives you an empty result, first check that the backtrack limit is not too low by running php --info | grep pcre. See Installation and Requirement above for details.

Version History

PHP Markdown Lib 1.3 (11 Apr 2013):

This is the first release of PHP Markdown Lib. This package requires PHP version 4.3 or later and is designed to work with PSR-0 autoloading and, optionally with Composer. Here is a list of the changes since PHP Markdown Extra 1.2.6:

  • Plugin interface for Wordpress and other systems is no longer present in the Lib package. The classic package is still available if you need it: http://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/classic/

  • Added public and protected protection attributes, plus a section about what is "public API" and what isn't in the Readme file.

  • Changed HTML output for footnotes: now instead of adding rel and rev attributes, footnotes links have the class name footnote-ref and backlinks footnote-backref.

  • Fixed some regular expressions to make PCRE not shout warnings about POSIX collation classes (dependent on your version of PCRE).

  • Added optional class and id attributes to images and links using the same syntax as for headers:

    [link](url){#id .class}  
    ![img](url){#id .class}
    

    It work too for reference-style links and images. In this case you need to put those attributes at the reference definition:

    [link][linkref] or [linkref]  
    ![img][linkref]
    
    [linkref]: url "optional title" {#id .class}
    
  • Fixed a PHP notice message triggered when some table column separator markers are missing on the separator line below column headers.

  • Fixed a small mistake that could cause the parser to retain an invalid state related to parsing links across multiple runs. This was never observed (that I know of), but it's still worth fixing.
