• Support for fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting.
• Task lists, tables, footnotes, and definition lists.
• Inline code, links, and images.
• Support for horizontal rules, blockquotes, and ordered/unordered lists.
• Highlighting, subscript, and superscript.
• Emojis.

Requirements

• PHP 7.4 or higher

Installation

You can install MarkDownify via Composer. Run the following command:

composer require kuasarx/markdownify

Usage

To use MarkDownify in your PHP project, follow these steps:

1. Require the autoloader generated by Composer:

   require 'vendor/autoload.php';
   

2. Create a new instance of the `MarkDownify` class:

   use MarkDownify\MarkDownify;
   
   $text = "Your Markdown content";
   $parser = new MarkDownify($text);
   

3. Parse the Markdown content into HTML:

   $html = $parser->parse();
   

4. Use the parsed HTML in your application as needed.

CSS Styling

Here's how you can add CSS to the page to achieve a GitHub-like look: - Include GitHub Markdown CSS

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/github-markdown-css@4.0.0/github-markdown.min.css">

• Style Your Container: Wrap the generated HTML output from MarkDownify in a `<div>` element with the class `markdown-body`. This class is defined in the GitHub Markdown CSS and applies the styling consistent with GitHub's Markdown rendering.

    echo '<div class="markdown-body">' . $html . '</div>';

Examples

Example 1: Basic Usage

    use MarkDownify\MarkDownify;
    // Markdown content
    $text = "# Hello, MarkDownify!\n\nThis is bold and italic text.";

    // Create a new instance of MarkDownify
    $parser = new MarkDownify($text);

    // Parse Markdown into HTML
    $html = $parser->parse();

    echo $html;

Example 2: Convert Task List

     use MarkDownify\MarkDownify;

    // Markdown content with a task list
    $text = "- [x] Task 1\n- [ ] Task 2\n- [x] Task 3";
    
    // Create a new instance of MarkDownify
    $parser = new MarkDownify($text);
    
    // Parse Markdown into HTML
    $html = $parser->parse();
    
    echo $html;

Example 3: Convert Table

     use MarkDownify\MarkDownify;

    // Markdown content with a table
    $text = "| Name  | Age | Gender |\n|-------|-----|--------|\n| John  | 30  | Male   |\n| Alice | 25  | Female |";
    
    // Create a new instance of MarkDownify
    $parser = new MarkDownify($text);
    
    // Parse Markdown into HTML
