Can I define a class name on paragraph using Markdown?

Question

Can I define a class name on paragraph using Markdown? If so, how?

Answer 1

Dupe: How do I set an HTML class attribute in Markdown?

---

Natively? No. But...

No, Markdown's syntax can't. You can set ID values with Markdown Extra through.

You can use regular HTML if you like, and add the attribute markdown="1" to continue markdown-conversion within the HTML element. This requires Markdown Extra though.

**Another paragraph** which allows *Markdown* within it.

Possible Solution: (Untested and intended for

)

I found the following online:

Function

function _DoBlockQuotes_callback($matches) {

    ...cut...

    //add id and class details...
    $id = $class = '';
    if(preg_match_all('/\{(?:([#.][-_:a-zA-Z0-9 ]+)+)\}/',$bq,$matches)) {
        foreach ($matches[1] as $match) {
            if($match[0]=='#') $type = 'id';
            else $type = 'class';
            ${$type} = ' '.$type.'="'.trim($match,'.# ').'"';
        }
        foreach ($matches[0] as $match) {
            $bq = str_replace($match,'',$bq);
        }
    }

    return _HashBlock(
        "\n$bq\n"
    ) . "\n\n";
}

Markdown

>{.className}{#id}This is the blockquote

Result

    
This is the blockquote
