handler-extensibility

[PRGfx]

From what I understand, these blocks returned for all the rules (like ['element'=>['name'=>...]]) are processed by one of the handlers (

parsedown/Parsedown.php

Line 1399 in 1bf24f7

# Handlers

ff.). (Except the quite common handler line which I don't seem to find.)

As this concept seems to exist, I would expect each element to be rendered by it's handler if specified (like

parsedown/Parsedown.php

Line 1425 in 1bf24f7

$markup .= $this->{$Element['handler']}($Element['text']);

but preferably with just $Element rather than needing to overload the text field to supply additional arguments), but maybe I just haven't yet understood the concept here and someone could clarify?

To give an example: I am thinking of an extension with some custom rule which would invoke a bit more markup so that I would like to return something like

return [
  'element' => [
    'handler' => 'template',
    'templateName' => 'someTemplateFile',
    'templateVariables' => [
      // something from my rule
    ]
  ]
];

and then have a handler template(array $options) to generate my markup from a template.

There's some info in #507 (comment), give me a ping if you need any more info though. You seem to have the gist, handler is the function to call, 'text' is the argument.

Thank you for the quick clarification. Putting mixed values into 'text' was a bit unintuitive but does what I need.
