Class MarkdownParser

This class and the Markdown() helper function, provide Markdown parsing for converting Markdown text to HTML.

In it's simplest for you can do:


        foxpro
        
            
        
     

        foxpro
        
            
        
     
DO MarkdownParser && Load Library (once)
lcMarkdown = "This is **bold** text and this is [linked](https://west-wind.com)."
lcHtml = Markdown(lcMarkdown)

The helper function is the preferred way to use the Markdown parser as it caches the Markdown parser rather than recreating the Markdown processing pipeline for each request.

Alternately you can explicitly use the MarkdownParser or MarkdownParserExtended classes, which give a little more control over various options:


        foxpro
        
            
        
     

        foxpro
        
            
        
     
lcMarkdown = "This is **bold** text and this is [linked](https://west-wind.com)."

loParser = CREATEOBJECT("MarkdownParser")
loParser.lSanitizeHtml = .T.
llUtf8 = .T.  && encode markdown to UTF8 before sending to Parser
loParser.Parse(lcMarkdown,llUtf8)
