<p>This is the Markdown plugin for bbPress that I needed, but could not find. It replaces the standard editor with a responsive Markdown form that includes a preview and formatting help. The Markdown is parsed using PHP Markdown(Extra) and saved as a regular HTML bbPress post. The Markdown is saved separately for later editing. The plugin can be activated and deactivated without affecting your bbPress data, it uninstalls cleanly (deleting any saved Markdown code) and is multisite compatible.</p>
<p>Tip: You can give the plugin a slight performance boost if your forum is Markdown only or you don’t care that some non-Markdown posts are displayed slightly different than before (e.g. not turning newlines into paragraphs or no longer making URLs automatically clickable), by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php: <code>add_filter( 'bbpmd_remove_output_filters_for_all_posts', '__return_true' );</code></p>

Thank you for this well-designed plugin, it works seamlessly with existing bbPress setup.

I appreciate the effort and thought put into it, for example, how it integrates techniques from several other related plugins, and how it uninstalls cleanly.

One thing I wish it had is a way to apply the same Markdown editor to normal comments as well.

Works wonders

Elegant Markdown support for your bbPress forums.

<h4>Speed up you workflow with Markdown</h4>
<p>Markdown is a lightweight and easy-to-use syntax for creating HTML. Let’s see some of the advantages of using this emerging format with the Import Markdown plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>Markdown is extremely easy to use, the tokens available with the Markdown syntax can be learned in less than 30 minutes.</li>
<li>Markdown translates to perfect HTML. No missing closing tags, no improperly nested tags, no blocks left without containers.</li>
<li>The Markdown files are simple text files editable with any text or code editor, on any operative system.</li>
<li>The Markdown files are extremely lightweight text files which don’t need to be compressed to be transported or sent on the internet.</li>
<li>Writing with the Markdown syntax requires and average of 25% less characters than writing HTML.</li>
<li>You can stop thinking about html and focus on what’s important, the content.</li>
<li>You can start writing your posts in your personal distraction free editor, like a simple text/code editor customized for your needs or one of the specific Markdown editors available on the market.</li>
<li>Programmers no longer need to manually convert to HTML entities the problematic characters present in code snippets. The Markdown parsers do this job for you.</li>
<li>With five included parser and three Markdown variations supported, this plugin can certainly satisfy even a Markdown expert who make use of any possibility provided by the syntax.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Five Markdown parsers and three markdown flavors</h4>
<p>At this time there isn’t a clearly defined Markdown standard and different implementations are currently used on the web. For this reason this plugin doesn’t force you to adopt a specific Markdown syntax, but instead allows you to select your favorite parser between the five available.</p>
<p>In the Import Markdown options you will be able to selected one of these five parser. In this list for each parser you have a reference to the supported syntax.</p>
