Basic usage:

echo Parsedown::instance()->text('Hello _Parsedown_!'); # would print <p>Hello <em>Parsedown</em>!</p>

This would also work:

$Parsedown = new Parsedown();

echo $Parsedown->text('Hello _Parsedown_!'); # would print <p>Hello <em>Parsedown</em>!</p>

Parse inline elements (instead of both block-level and inline elements):

echo Parsedown::instance()->line('Hello _Parsedown_!'); # would print Hello <em>Parsedown</em>!

Set options:

echo Parsedown::instance()
   ->setBreaksEnabled(true) # enables automatic line breaks
   ->text("1st line \n 2nd line"); 

# Output:
# <p>1st line <br /> 2nd line</p>
echo Parsedown::instance()
   ->setMarkupEscaped(true) # escapes markup (HTML)
   ->text("<div><strong>*Some text*</strong></div>");

# Output:
# <p>&lt;div>&lt;strong><em>Some text</em>&lts;/strong>&lt;/div></p>
echo Parsedown::instance()
   ->setUrlsLinked(false) # prevents automatic linking of URLs
   ->text("You can find Parsedown at http://parsedown.org");

# Output:
# <p>You can find Parsedown at http://parsedown.org</p>

To open a file:

include('Parsedown.php');
$file = file_get_contents('FILE.md');
$Parsedown = new Parsedown();

echo $Parsedown->text($file);

# Output: *Whatever content your file has inside!*
