Markdown renderer and Blade component for Laravel

This package contains:

• a Blade component that can render markdown
• a highly configurable class that you can use to render markdown

Let's start with an example of the provided x-markdown Blade component. This chunk of markdown...

<x-markdown>
# My title

This is a [link to our website](https://spatie.be)

```php
echo 'Hello world';
```
</x-markdown>

... will be converted by to component to this chunk of HTML:

<div>
    <h1 id="my-title">My title</h1>
    <p>This is a <a href="https://spatie.be">link to our website</a></p>
    <pre class="shiki" style="background-color: #fff"><code><span class="line"><span
        style="color: #005CC5">echo</span><span style="color: #24292E"> </span><span style="color: #032F62">&#39;Hello world&#39;</span><span
        style="color: #24292E">;</span></span>
<span class="line"></span></code></pre>
</div>

You can also programmatically render HTML.

// by resolving the class out of the container all the options
// in the config file will be used.

app(Spatie\LaravelMarkdown\MarkdownRenderer::class)->toHtml($markdown);

Out of the box, the x-markdown component and MarkdownRenderer can:

• highlight code blocks correctly (via Shiki PHP) for 100+ languages, including PHP, JS, Blade, and many more.
• add anchor links to headings
• cache results to increase performance
