This is not a canonical Markdown version. This variant contains several differences:, (*1)
- One line break will result in a
<br /> tag - just like in Github Markdown.
- Underscores (_) in the middle of the word won't add italics or bold stylings.
- Grave character (~ also known as tilde) will result in
<s> tag usually used
to add line-through or strike-through styling.
- Double grave character will result in
<del> tag wrapping.
Installation
Add following require to your composer.json file:, (*2)
// For Laravel 4.1.x+
"cohensive/markdown": "dev-master"
// OR for Laravel 4.0.x
"cohensive/markdown": "4.0.0"
Then run composer install or composer update to download it and autoload., (*3)
In providers array you need to add new package:, (*4)
'providers' => array(
//...
'Cohensive\Markdown\MarkdownServiceProvider',
//...
)
In aliases:, (*5)
'aliases' => array(
//...
'Markdown' => 'Cohensive\Markdown\Facades\Markdown'
//...
)
And after all that, we need to add config file, containing several options for Markdown., (*6)
php artisan config:publish cohensive/markdown

Markdown::transform('Hello **World**');
Laravel 5
