Carta library

Carta offers a simple way to transform different markup languages to HTML (the irony). For the moment it supports Markdown and reStructuredText.

Example

$carta = new \Gentle\Carta\Carta(
    '/path/to/markdown/files',
    new \Gentle\Carta\Parser\MarkdownParser()
);

# parse a single page and get content
$carta->page('subdir/file.md')->getContent();

# load all files from directory and get each page title
foreach ($carta->chapter('subdir/')->getPages() as $page) {
    echo $page->getMetaTag('title');
}

Page metadata

You can specify custom metadata inside each source file, by using the format key: value at the beginning of the file, surrounded by three or more dashes.

Example:

---
title: "The page title"
description: "Page description"
tags: ["tag1", "tag2"]
---

This will result in the following usage:

// [...]
$page->getMetaTag('title');        // will return: The page title
$page->getMetaTag('description');  // will return: Page description
$page->getMetaTag('tags');         // will return: array('tag1', 'tag2')

There are no restrictions in place for what meta keys you can use, so you can define any key you want.
