Converter

A set of classes to translate a text from HTML to BBCode and from BBCode to Markdown.

The HTML to BBCode converter, in particular, has not been created with the intent to convert an entire HTML page, but just to convert a set of HTML tags used to format articles and blog posts in the HTML era, when Markdown and BBcode didn't exist at all.

The special BBCode to Markdown converter is able to convert: bold, italic, underline and strikethrough texts, lists, urls, images, quotes and even code blocks (snippets).

Composer Installation

To install Converter, you first need to install Composer, a Package Manager for PHP, following these few steps:

curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

You can run this command to easily access composer from anywhere on your system:

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

Converter Installation

Once you have installed Composer, it's easy install Converter.

  1. Edit your composer.json file, adding Converter to the require section:
{
    "require": {
        "3f/converter": "dev-master"
    },
}
  1. Run the following command in your project root dir:
composer update

Usage

There are two classes: HTMLConverter and BBCodeConverter. The first class may be used to convert from HTML to BBCode, while the second one is used to convert from BBCode to Markdown.

HTML to BBCode conversion:

$converter = new Converter\HTMLConverter($text, $id);
echo $converter->toBBCode();

BBCode to Markdown conversion:

$converter = new Converter\BBCodeConverter($text, $id);
echo $converter->toMarkdown();

In both cases the $id is optional. When provided is used in case an exception is raised during the conversion process.

Documentation

The documentation can be generated using Doxygen. A Doxyfile is provided for your convenience.

Requirements

  • PHP 5.4.0 or above.
