Fatdown, a Markdown bundle that doesn't suck too bad

Fatdown is a bundle based on the Litedown plugin which supports most of Markdown's features, plus the MediaEmbed and FancyPants plugins for media embedding and enhanced typography.

Demo

You can try the real-time JavaScript demo, or you can compare Fatdown to various Markdown implementations via the wonderful Babelmark 2.

Examples

use s9e\TextFormatter\Bundles\Fatdown as TextFormatter;

$text = '**Fatdown** implements a Markdown-like syntax plus extra Stuff(tm).';
$xml  = TextFormatter::parse($text);
$html = TextFormatter::render($xml);

echo $html;

<p><strong>Fatdown</strong> implements a Markdown-like syntax plus extra Stuff™.</p>

Why Fatdown doesn't suck

Unlike the original Markdown specification and most Markdown flavours, Fatdown's HTML support does not allow JavaScript to be executed and is suitable for untrusted input.

use s9e\TextFormatter\Bundles\Fatdown as TextFormatter;

$text = '<img src="http://127.0.0.1/fake.png" onerror="alert(1)"/>';
$xml  = TextFormatter::parse($text);
$html = TextFormatter::render($xml);

echo $html;

<p><img src="http://127.0.0.1/fake.png"></p>
