Doxter Field
Doxter is a field type that allows you to write and parse markdown content.
Workflow
- Create a new Doxter field
- Add the new field to a field layout in your entry type
- Write your markdown and save it along with your entry
The content will be saved as plain text and returned as a DoxterModel
Doxter Model
text()
Returns the plain text content stored via the field type
{{ entry.doxterField.text() }}
It is also worth noting that this is the default behavior when you use you the Doxter in string context.
{# __toString() returns the text() equivalent #}
{{ entry.doxterField }}
html()
Returns properly formatted HTML parsed from the the plain text content stored via the Doxter field type.
{{ entry.doxterField.html() }}
Calling html() without any params will use the default parsing option defined in your settings.
Passing an options object html({}) gives you full control on a per field basis.
Doxter Filter
The doxter filter is still supported and can be used to parse markdown from any source.
{{ "Doxter _markdown_"|doxter }}
{# or #}
{{ "Doxter _markdown_"|doxter({}) }}

The Doxter Model html() method and the Doxter Filter accept an array of options to override your defaults.
