Class yii\helpers\Markdown

Markdown provides an ability to transform markdown into HTML.

Basic usage is the following:

$myHtml = Markdown::process($myText); // use original markdown flavor
$myHtml = Markdown::process($myText, 'gfm'); // use github flavored markdown
$myHtml = Markdown::process($myText, 'extra'); // use markdown extra

You can configure multiple flavors using the $flavors property.

For more details please refer to the Markdown library documentation.

Note: The Markdown library works with PHPDoc annotations so if you use it together with PHP opcache make sure it does not strip comments.
