How to use the built in markdown parser

This textformatter seems to work for really simple Markdown things like emphasis  and headers. But I get Trying to access array offset on value of type null errors if I do any of the following:

  • create an unordered list by beginning successive lines with `- `
  • feed it text that contains a bracket character (`[`) that’s not being used as part of a link
  • put a short string of `-` characters on a line of its own to generate a horizontal rule

Interestingly, if I try to create an unordered list by beginning successive lines with `• ` instead of `- ` (both are acceptable Markdown syntaxes), the attempt is just ignored: no formatting is done and no error occurs.

Also interestingly, ordered lists work as expected!

Are others encountering these problems? I really want to be able to parse Markdown. I’d love for extended things like footnotes and tables to be supported, but I’d settle for Gruber’s original bare-bone syntax.

It's working for me.

I'm using PHP 7.3 so if you are using a newer version then it could be that the included Parsedown library needs an update. If you trace it back to being related to PHP version then please open a GitHub issue because TextformatterMarkdownExtra is a core module.
