There are hundreds of different places and frameworks to create and manage blog posts. I am still dealing with my own system because I like to re-write the wheel - however, I do want to take advantage of some great things people have created like Markdown and Syntax highlighting.
Insert Markdown and PrismJS
I still need to learn how to fully take advantage of these items, but I've code the base examples working. I started with grabbing Parsedown. This allows me to use Markdown directly in my php code.
Source: [Parsedown](https://parsedown.org/) ```php \$Parsedown = new Parsedown();\jasen echo \$Parsedown->text('Jaseowns now has _Parsedown_!'); ``` After I got that working, I was sad that the javascript was not highlighting automagically. The quickest fix was to just find a JS library that worked well with Parsedown out of the box. Insert PrismJS!
``` If this in-fact worked correctly, the above items should be highlighted and the source links look like... ```markdown Source: [PrismJS](https://prismjs.com/) ``` Bringing Jaseowns.com into the new age!
