Task List Extension
(Note: this extension is included by default within the GFM extension)
This extension adds support for GFM-style task lists.
Installation
This extension is bundled with league/commonmark. This library can be installed via Composer:
composer require league/commonmark
See the installation section for more details.
Usage
Configure your Environment as usual and simply add the TaskListExtension provided by this package:
use League\CommonMark\Environment;
use League\CommonMark\Extension\TaskList\TaskListExtension;
use League\CommonMark\MarkdownConverter;
// Obtain a pre-configured Environment with all the CommonMark parsers/renderers ready-to-go
$environment = Environment::createCommonMarkEnvironment();
// Add this extension
$environment->addExtension(new TaskListExtension());
// Instantiate the converter engine and start converting some Markdown!
$converter = new MarkdownConverter($environment);
$markdown = <<<EOT
- [x] Install this extension
- [ ] ???
- [ ] Profit!
EOT;
echo $converter->convertToHtml($markdown);
Please note that this extension doesn’t provide any JavaScript functionality to handle people checking and unchecking boxes - you’ll need to implement that yourself if needed.
