Class: MarkdownExtra  - X-Ref

Markdown Extra Parser Class

__construct()   X-Ref
Constructor function. Initialize the parser object.

return: void

setup()   X-Ref
Setting up Extra-specific variables.


teardown()   X-Ref
Clearing Extra-specific variables.


doExtraAttributes($tag_name, $attr, $defaultIdValue = null, $classes = array()   X-Ref
Parse attributes caught by the $this->id_class_attr_catch_re expression
and return the HTML-formatted list of attributes.

Currently supported attributes are .class and #id.

In addition, this method also supports supplying a default Id value,
which will be used to populate the id attribute in case it was not
overridden.
param: string $tag_name
param: string $attr
param: mixed  $defaultIdValue
param: array  $classes
return: string

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

param: string $text
return: string

Class: attr  - X-Ref

_stripLinkDefinitions_callback($matches)   X-Ref
Strip link definition callback

param: array $matches
return: string

hashHTMLBlocks($text)   X-Ref
Hashify HTML Blocks and "clean tags".

We only want to do this for block-level HTML tags, such as headers,
lists, and tables. That's because we still want to wrap <p>s around
"paragraphs" that are wrapped in non-block-level tags, such as anchors,
phrase emphasis, and spans. The list of tags we're looking for is
hard-coded.

This works by calling _HashHTMLBlocks_InMarkdown, which then calls
_HashHTMLBlocks_InHTML when it encounter block tags. When the markdown="1"
attribute is found within a tag, _HashHTMLBlocks_InHTML calls back
_HashHTMLBlocks_InMarkdown to handle the Markdown syntax within the tag.
These two functions are calling each other. It's recursive!
param: string $text
return: string

_hashHTMLBlocks_inMarkdown($text, $indent = 0,$enclosing_tag_re = '', $span = false)   X-Ref
Parse markdown text, calling _HashHTMLBlocks_InHTML for block tags.

*   $indent is the number of space to be ignored when checking for code
blocks. This is important because if we don't take the indent into
account, something like this (which looks right) won't work as expected:

<div>
<div markdown="1">
Hello World.  <-- Is this a Markdown code block or text?
</div>  <-- Is this a Markdown code block or a real tag?
<div>

If you don't like this, just don't indent the tag on which
you apply the markdown="1" attribute.

*   If $enclosing_tag_re is not empty, stops at the first unmatched closing
tag with that name. Nested tags supported.

*   If $span is true, text inside must treated as span. So any double
newline will be replaced by a single newline so that it does not create
paragraphs.

Returns an array of that form: ( processed text , remaining text )

param: string  $text
param: integer $indent
param: string  $enclosing_tag_re
param: boolean $span
return: array

Class: name  - X-Ref

_hashHTMLBlocks_inHTML($text, $hash_method, $md_attr)   X-Ref

*   $md_attr indicate if the use of the `markdown="1"` attribute is allowed.
