Releasing open-source libraries involves much more than sharing your GitHub URL with the world. There are many considerations and steps involved, especially if you want your project to be successful and long-lived.
Markdown is one of the most popular markup languages on the web. Unfortunately, with no standard specification, every implementation works differently, producing varying results across different platforms. The CommonMark specification fixes this by providing an unambiguous syntax specification and a comprehensive suite of tests. In this session you'll learn about this standard and how to integrate the league/commonmark parser into their PHP applications. We'll also cover how to customize the library to implement new features like custom Markdown syntax or advanced renderers.
To celebrate this milestone I thought I’d share the story of how this package came about, how it’s grown, and how I couldn’t have reached this milestone without the PHP community’s help.

league/commonmark is a well-written, super-configurable Markdown parser for PHP based on the CommonMark spec. In this lightning talk, we’ll introduce the CommonMark spec, discuss why it’s important, and demonstrate how the league/commonmark project can be used and extended for your own PHP projects.
