Strapdown.php

A proof-of-concept for replacing blocks of Markdown in HTML with its converted HTML, inspired by Strapdown.js. It isn’t strictly limited to Markdown, but only comes with a Markdown converter for now.

It works by looking for xmp elements that have a custom attribute data-language. If this attribute matches the name for a converter, that converter is asked to convert the contents of the xmp element. The results of this conversion will replace the xmp element.

The attribute is called data-language as it is recommended to use MIME types for format identification. This will allow several formats and several converters to work on the same HTML file.
