I'm looking for a script that parses markup like the one used in wikis and in stackoverflow...
I prefer something that I can easily customize for additional markup
I'm using PHP, and I'm looking for a standalone class that requires no external dependencies from some framework, lib, etc.
I'm talking about a class/script that converts this:
**bold**
- aaa
- bbb
- ccc
into:
bold
The specific markup language used by StackOverflow is called Markdown. A Google search for PHP Markdown
turns up several libraries; I haven't used any of them so I can't recommend one.
