Class: Markdown  - X-Ref

Markdown Parser Class

defaultTransform($text)   X-Ref
Simple function interface - Initialize the parser and return the result
of its transform method. This will work fine for derived classes too.

param: string $text
return: string

__construct()   X-Ref
Constructor function. Initialize appropriate member variables.

return: void

setup()   X-Ref
Called before the transformation process starts to setup parser states.

return: void

teardown()   X-Ref
Called after the transformation process to clear any variable which may
be taking up memory unnecessarly.

return: void

transform($text)   X-Ref
Main function. Performs some preprocessing on the input text and pass
it through the document gamut.

param: string $text
return: string

stripLinkDefinitions($text)   X-Ref
Strips link definitions from text, stores the URLs and titles in
hash references

param: string $text
return: string

_stripLinkDefinitions_callback($matches)   X-Ref
The callback to strip link definitions

param: array $matches
return: string

hashHTMLBlocks($text)   X-Ref
Hashify HTML blocks

param: string $text
return: string

_hashHTMLBlocks_callback($matches)   X-Ref
The callback for hashing HTML blocks

param: string $matches
return: string

hashPart($text, $boundary = 'X')   X-Ref
Called whenever a tag must be hashed when a function insert an atomic
element in the text stream. Passing $text to through this function gives
a unique text-token which will be reverted back when calling unhash.

The $boundary argument specify what character should be used to surround
the token. By convension, "B" is used for block elements that needs not
to be wrapped into paragraph tags at the end, ":" is used for elements
that are word separators and "X" is used in the general case.

param: string $text
param: string $boundary
return: string

hashBlock($text)   X-Ref
Shortcut function for hashPart with block-level boundaries.

param: string $text
return: string

runBlockGamut($text)   X-Ref
Run block gamut tranformations.

We need to escape raw HTML in Markdown source before doing anything
else. This need to be done for each block, and not only at the
begining in the Markdown function since hashed blocks can be part of
list items and could have been indented. Indented blocks would have
been seen as a code block in a previous pass of hashHTMLBlocks.

param: string $text
return: string

runBasicBlockGamut($text)   X-Ref
Run block gamut tranformations, without hashing HTML blocks. This is
useful when HTML blocks are known to be already hashed, like in the first
whole-document pass.

return: string

otherwise.

Note: the additional output $tail is assigned the same value as the
ouput, minus the number of characters specified by $head_length.

Based by a filter by Matthew Wickline, posted to BBEdit-Talk.
With some optimizations by Milian Wolff. Forced encoding of HTML
attribute special characters by Allan Odgaard.
