Extension:MarkdownExtraParser

MediaWiki's sweet, but Markdown's the "new hotness (steez)". .... yea, anyway, so this is a quick piece of code for hooking MediaWiki's parser to use Michael Fortin's PHP Markdown Extra library

Download
Clone the GitHub repo or download the zip

Installation

 * 1) Create a folder in your "$IP/extensions" directory called "MarkdownExtraParser"
 * Note: $IP is your MediaWiki install directory

 * 1) Clone the GitHub repo into your new directory (or download the zip)
 * 2) Download Michael Fortin's PHP Markdown Extra library
 * 3) Extract and copy the "markdown.php" file into your new "$IP/extensions/MarkdownExtraParser/" directory

Configuration
Before "requiring" the extension, you can set an array variable to hold some configuration settings for MarkdownExtraParser, like so:

// MarkdownExtraParser $MarkdownExtraParserOptions = array(   'use_raw_html' => true, );

Available Options

 * 'use_raw_html' - Allows for more advanced markdown-to-HTML conversions, such as image tags, etc.
