Markdown Support

[Rizwan Kassim]

Is there anything we can do to assist or request Markdown Support in parallel with BBCode?

I don't believe there is an add-on for it, or any instructions on how to do it. However, you should be able to extend XenForo_BbCode_Parser::render($text, $extraStates) to call a Markdown parse renderer (into BB Code or straight HTML, HTML would most likely be better) and then send then call the internal render function. So...

class MarkdownEditor extends XFCP_MarkdownEditor
{
	public function render($text, array $extraStates = array())
	{
		$text = $this->_renderMarkdown($text);
		
		return parent::render($text, $extraStates);
	}
}

Looks like the XenForo_BbCode_Parser is never called using the code event listener load_class_bb_code. How do I extend this class?

It's not possible. When the question has been asked, Kier said we shouldn't need to extend it. Actually we did

What's the best way to get Markdown up and running in parallel with BBCode? Thanks.

Just finished my first attempt of a Markdown Implementation. You might want to check it out. (here)

Excellent, thanks. When do you estimate it will be stable? I'll give it a test here soon.

I'm not 100% happy with the implementation yet, but I'm a bit short on time until april 7th, so that's the earliest date I can continue
