convert link to Jira markdown

[lwrbakro]

Hi,

I am about to convert HTML code to JIRA markdown.

Is it possible to use custom converter function instead the default one?

<a href="http://example.com">link title</a>  ==> [link title|http://example.com]

You could use a custom converter if you had the ability to configure the Environment:

1. Create the custom converter (implement the ConverterInterface)
2. Configure your own Environment
   • Copy lines 83-98 of Environment
   • Change line 93 to add your custom converter instead of the core one

At this point you've got the Environment configured how you need it, but no way to inject this into the HtmlConverter. This is an oversight on my part. For now, you could use (ab)use inheritence:

class CustomHtmlConverter extends HtmlConverter
{
    public function __construct(Environment $environment, array $options = array()) {
        parent::__construct($options);

        $this->environment = $environment;
        $this->environment->getConfig()->merge($options);
    }
}

I'll open a separate issue to make the Environment injectable.

Oops, I misread my own code (I haven't had my coffee yet this morning). Turns out you can do this with the existing code:

1. Create the custom converter (implement the ConverterInterface)
2. Initialize a new HtmlConverter.
3. Call $htmlConverter->addConverter(new MyCustomLinkConverter())

That third call will replace the existing link converter with yours :)
