Autolink Extension
(Note: this extension is included by default within the GFM extension)
The AutolinkExtension adds GFM-style autolinking. It automatically links URLs and email addresses even when the CommonMark <...> autolink syntax is not used.
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 AutolinkExtension provided by this package:
use League\CommonMark\Environment\Environment;
use League\CommonMark\Extension\Autolink\AutolinkExtension;
use League\CommonMark\Extension\CommonMark\CommonMarkCoreExtension;
use League\CommonMark\MarkdownConverter;
// Define your configuration, if needed
$config = [];
// Configure the Environment with all the CommonMark parsers/renderers
$environment = new Environment($config);
$environment->addExtension(new CommonMarkCoreExtension());
// Add this extension
$environment->addExtension(new AutolinkExtension());
// Instantiate the converter engine and start converting some Markdown!
$converter = new MarkdownConverter($environment);
echo $converter->convertToHtml('I successfully installed the https://github.com/thephpleague/commonmark project with the Autolink extension!');
@mention-style Autolinking
As of v1.5, mention autolinking is now handled by a Mention Parser outside of this extension.
