What this system is
Test coverage
Add CommonMark compliance and raw HTML extension tests; Expanded test coverage for Markdown parsing edge cases; Removed legacy PHP-based test suite and supporting files.
Dependencies
Update PHP and PHPUnit requirements in composer.json
The project now requires PHP 7.2 or higher and the mbstring extension. Development dependencies were updated to support PHPUnit 8.5.52 or 9.6.33, and test autoloading was configured for the test directory.

Housekeeping
Updated project metadata and documentation
The repository's documentation and configuration files have been updated. The README has been replaced with a more comprehensive version that includes installation instructions, feature highlights, and security guidance. The license file has been updated to the MIT License with a 2013-2018 copyright period. Additionally, the PHPUnit configuration file has been added to support the test suite, and the .gitattributes file has been created to exclude test files from archives.

How this codebase got here
This is the PUBLIC form of this artifact. Findings are listed in full, but the details of SECURITY findings — which rule fired, in which file, on which line, and how to fix it — are deliberately withheld, and any secret-scanner results are excluded entirely. Where detail is absent here it was REMOVED FOR PUBLICATION; it is not missing from the analysis. The complete artifact is available from the repository owner.

- Redundant methods with identical intent. Both text and parse appear to convert Markdown text to HTML. Having two public entry points for the same core functionality creates confusion for users regarding which method to use.

erusev/parsedown was measured the same way every project in this corpus was: the same rubric, at a pinned commit, with the result published in full. Point a surveyor at a repository you know and see whether you agree with it.
About this page
- The score is its most recent published measurement, taken on 25 September 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
- Measured at commit 4e433a8d57078645b55d21fd12c887d3ba6ca01e — the exact code this score is about.
- Scored under rubric-2026.09.15 — the same rubric and the same method as every other entry in this index.
- Measured by watchdog.canine.dev using codehealth-analyzer preprod-a9cd699f3cd5.
