EdpMarkdown - ZF2 Markdown Module

Version 0.0.1 Created by Evan Coury

NOTE: THIS CURRENTLY DEPENDS ON A PATCH TO THE PLUGINBROKER THAT IS NOT MERGED INTO THE ZF2 MASTER. An alternative Service Locator strategy is being developed to replace the PluginBroker stuff in ZF2, so development of this module is currently on hold. You can still use this module, but it will require you manually inject the Markdown renderer into the view helper yourself somehow. See the DI configuration in this module for an idea of how this works.

Introduction

This ZF2 module simply adds markdown support to your project. It utilizes the PHP Markdown library written by Michel Fortin which is a PHP port of the original perl implementation by John Gruber.

Usage

With this module installed, using markdown in your view scripts is easy:

<?php $this->markdown()->start(); ?>
Hello, **this** is _markdown_!
<?php $this->markdown()->end(); ?>

or...

<?= $this->markdown('Hello, **this** is _markdown_!'); ?>

Configuration

By default, this module uses the "Markdown Extra" parser. If you'd like to switch it to just use the normal markdown parser, you can add the following DI alias to your config:

'markdown-parser' => 'Markdown_Parser'
