Where are the docs on how to extend Parsedown?

[IngwiePhoenix]

Hey.

I wanted to extend Parsedown, since it was stated to be possible in the Readme. But I could not find any docs on this matter... Where are these?

[erusev]

I'm working on them.

What kind of an extension do you want to build?

I wamt to change a chat system from using BBCode to markdown, but I want to add a color-code:

{c:black}my text{/c}
{c:#ffffff}my text{/c}

should turn into:

<span style="color:$c“>$text</span>

I can give you some directions.

What you describe is an inline element. Most inline elements have markers. Markers are the first character of inline elements. In the case of your inline element, the marker is {.

Here's what you could do:

1. In the constructor of your extension, add an element to the $this->InlineTypes array. The key of that element should be the marker of your inline element ({) and the value should be the name of your inline element (e.g. ColoredText);
2. Create a method named inlineColoredText. This method will get called whenever the parser finds the marker { in the text.
3. Have a look at the other inline... methods to figure out how to implement it.

More specifically, have a look at the implementation of the strikethrough inline element and the inlineStrikethrough method. It seems to be the closest to the element that you want to implement.

I don't want to be over pedantic, but this is at least related if not duplicate of #159.

[erusev]

@hkdobrev This is true. I'm closing this issue in favour of the other one.

I included and implementation of this in the wiki. You should check it out.
