PHP Markdown is a port to PHP of the Markdown program written by John Gruber.
“Markdown” is two things: a plain text markup syntax, and a software tool that converts the plain text markup to HTML for publishing on the web.
More info: http://michelf.com/projects/php-markdown
For this plugin, the application Markdown is inside Vendor
Written for CakePHP 2.0+
You can clone the plugin into your project (or if you want you can use as a submodule):
cd path/to/app/Plugin or /plugins
git clone https://github.com/maurymmarques/markdown-cakephp.git Markdown
Bootstrap the plugin in app/Config/bootstrap.php:
<?php
CakePlugin::load(array('Markdown' => array('bootstrap' => true)));Enable the helper using the plugin syntax
If desired, set the component to assist with the return of data from the markdown.
<?php
// in app/Controller/BakeriesController.php
class BakeriesController extends AppController {
public $helpers = array('Markdown.Markdown');
public function index() {
$this->set('textInMarkdownFormat', $yourTextInMarkdownFormat);
}
}Or, if the markdown content is in a file...
<?php
// in app/Controller/BakeriesController.php
class BakeriesController extends AppController {
public $helpers = array('Markdown.Markdown');
public $components = array('Markdown.Markdown');
public function index() {
$this->set('textInMarkdownFormat', $this->Markdown->getFile($pathToMarkdownFile));
}
}In the view you can use something like:
<?php
// in app/View/Bakeries/index.ctp
echo $this->Markdown->transform($textInMarkdownFormat);
