Markdown Shaarli plugin

Convert all your shaares description to HTML formatted Markdown.

Read more about Markdown syntax.

Markdown processing is done with Parsedown library.

Installation

As a default plugin, it should already be in tpl/plugins/ directory. If not, download and unpack it there.

The directory structure should look like:

--- plugins
  |--- markdown
     |--- help.html
     |--- markdown.css
     |--- markdown.meta
     |--- markdown.php
     |--- README.md

To enable the plugin, just check it in the plugin administration page.

You can also add markdown to your list of enabled plugins in data/config.json.php (general.enabled_plugins list).

This should look like:

"general": {
  "enabled_plugins": [
    "markdown",
    [...]
  ],
}

Parsedown parsing library is imported using Composer. If you installed Shaarli using git, or the master branch, run

composer update --no-dev --prefer-dist

No Markdown tag

If the tag nomarkdown is set for a shaare, it won't be converted to Markdown syntax.

Note: this is a special tag, so it won't be displayed in link list.

HTML rendering

Markdown support HTML tags. For example:

> <strong>strong</strong><strike>strike</strike>

Will render as:

strongstrike

If you want to shaare HTML code, it is necessary to use inline code or code blocks.

If your shaared descriptions containing HTML tags before enabling the markdown plugin, enabling it might break your page.

Note: HTML tags such as script, iframe, etc. are disabled for security reasons.

Known issue

Redirector

If you're using a redirector, you need to add a space after a link, otherwise the rest of the line will be urlencode.

[link](http://domain.tld)-->test

Will consider http://domain.tld)-->test as URL.

Instead, add an additional space.

[link](http://domain.tld) -->test

Won't fix because a ) is a valid part of an URL.
