Question

I was reading http://github.github.com/github-flavored-markdown/

I would like to implement that “Newline modification” in PHP Markdown:

Best I could think of is:

$my_html = Markdown($my_text);
$my_html = preg_replace("/\n{1}/", "<br/>", $my_html);

But this runs very unexpectable.

Answer 1

Look for line in your markdown file:

function doHardBreaks($text) {

and change the preg pattern below it from:

return preg_replace_callback('/ {2,}\n/', array(&$this, '_doHardBreaks_callback'), $text);

to:

return preg_replace_callback('/ {2,}\n|\n{1}/', array(&$this, '_doHardBreaks_callback'), $text);

Or you can just extend the markdown class, redeclare ‘doHardBreaks’ function, and change the return into something like code above
