[](https://packagist.org/packages/spatie/laravel-markdown)
This package contains:
- a Blade component that can render markdown
- a highly configurable class that you can use to render markdown
Let's start with an example of the provided `x-markdown` Blade component. This chunk of markdown...
````blade
# My title
This is a [link to our website](https://spatie.be)
```php
echo 'Hello world';
```
````
... will be converted by to component to this chunk of HTML:
```html
```
You can also programmatically render HTML.
```php
// by resolving the class out of the container all the options
// in the config file will be used.
app(Spatie\LaravelMarkdown\MarkdownRenderer::class)->toHtml($markdown);
```
Out of the box, the `x-markdown` component and `MarkdownRenderer` can:
- highlight code blocks correctly (via [Shiki PHP](https://github.com/spatie/shiki-php)) for 100+ languages, including PHP, JS, Blade, [and many more](https://github.com/shikijs/shiki/blob/main/docs/languages.md).
- add anchor links to headings
- cache results to increase performance
