Apache handler for .md files, written in PHP

Markdown Handler

This little script adds an Apache handler that lets you view Markdown files with a .md extension more prettily on your webserver.

It's based on a PHP Markdown implementation by Michel Fortin.

Installation

• Copy .htaccess to your root, or update your httpd.conf file with its contents, if you prefer.
• Ensure that mod_rewrite and mod_actions are enabled in your Apache server:
  • sudo a2enmod rewrite
  • sudo a2enmod actions
  • sudo systemctl restart apache2 (apply the changes)
• Copy the markdown directory into your webroot.

Now visit a .md file on your webserver; you should see it as properly styled HTML.
