README
moxio/commonmark-ext-definition-list
Extension for the league/commonmark
Markdown parser to support definition lists.
Uses unofficial markdown syntax based on the syntax supported by PHP Markdown Extra, Pandoc and markdown-it. See the section Syntax below for details.
Requirements
This library requires PHP version 7.4 or higher and a 1.x
release of
league/commonmark
.
Installation
Install as a dependency using composer:
$ composer require --dev moxio/commonmark-ext-definition-list
Usage
Add DefinitionListExtension
as an extension to your CommonMark environment
instance and you're good to go:
use League\CommonMark\CommonMarkConverter; use League\CommonMark\Environment; use Moxio\CommonMark\Extension\DefinitionList\DefinitionListExtension; $environment = Environment::createCommonMarkEnvironment(); $environment->addExtension(new DefinitionListExtension()); // Use $environment when building your CommonMarkConverter $converter = new CommonMarkConverter([], $environment); echo $converter->convertToHtml(' Term 1 : Definition of term 1. Term 2 : Definition of term 2. ');
See the CommonMark documentation for more information about using extensions.
Syntax
The supported markdown syntax is based on the one used by
PHP Markdown Extra,
Pandoc and
markdown-it.
Since there are subtle differences between the syntaxes understood by these
libraries and there is no formally defined standard, 100% compatibility
with any of the aforementioned libraries cannot be guaranteed. The use
of the tilde (~
) as a definition list marker (as understood by Pandoc)
is also supported.
A simple example:
Apple : Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in the family Rosaceae. Orange : The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.
The will yield HTML output like:
<dl> <dt>Apple</dt> <dd>Pomaceous fruit of plants of the genus Malus in the family Rosaceae.</dd> <dt>Orange</dt> <dd>The fruit of an evergreen tree of the genus Citrus.</dd> </dl>
A more complex example:
Term 1 : This is a definition with two paragraphs. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Aliquam hendrerit mi posuere lectus. Vestibulum enim wisi, viverra nec, fringilla in, laoreet vitae, risus. : Second definition for term 1, also wrapped in a paragraph because of the blank line preceding it. Term 2 : This definition has a code block, a blockquote and a list. code block. > block quote > on two lines. 1. first list item 2. second list item
