Berq Markdown makes your WordPress content instantly consumable by AI assistants, LLM crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Googlebot-AI), and Markdown-aware tools — without duplicating your content or creating separate pages.
Appending <code>.md</code> to any public page or post URL (e.g. <code>https://example.com/about.md</code>) returns a clean, structured Markdown file with YAML frontmatter. The plugin handles content from all common sources: Gutenberg blocks, classic editor, shortcodes, and custom PHP templates.
How it works
When a visitor or crawler requests <code>/about.md</code>, the plugin intercepts the request, finds the matching WordPress post, converts the HTML content to Markdown, and serves it with the correct <code>Content-Type: text/markdown</code> header — all without creating any new database entries or files.
Key Features
<ul>
<li>Automatic .md URLs — any public post or page URL + <code>.md</code> returns clean Markdown</li>
<li>YAML frontmatter — every .md file includes <code>title</code>, <code>description</code>, <code>url</code>, <code>date_modified</code>, <code>author</code>, and <code>language</code></li>
<li>Full content compatibility — works with Gutenberg blocks, classic editor, shortcodes, and custom PHP page templates</li>
<li>HTML to Markdown conversion — pure PHP, no external dependencies; handles headings, paragraphs, lists, links, images, tables, code blocks, and more</li>
<li>Internal link rewriting — links to internal pages are rewritten to their <code>.md</code> equivalent automatically</li>
<li>URL exclusions with wildcards — exclude specific URL patterns using <code>*</code> as a wildcard (e.g. <code>/cart/*</code>, <code>*/checkout*</code>)</li>
<li>Post type selection — choose which post types (posts, pages, custom post types) are served as Markdown</li>
<li>Transient caching — optional cache with configurable TTL to reduce server load at scale</li>
<li><code><link></code> tag injection — injects a <code><link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown"></code> tag in every page’s <code><head></code> so crawlers can discover the .md version</li>
<li><code>[btrmd313_md_link]</code> shortcode — renders a link to the current page’s <code>.md</code> file, opens in a new tab</li>
<li>Multilingual support — detects language via Polylang or WPML, adds <code>language</code> and <code>alternates</code> to frontmatter and emits <code>hreflang</code> link tags</li>
<li>Public content rendering — always renders content as a non-logged-in visitor, so member-only sections are not exposed</li>
<li>Admin settings page — all options configurable under Settings > Berq Markdown, with a Settings link on the Plugins page</li>
</ul>

Markdown for Agents and Statistics converts your WordPress content to Markdown and serves it 
to AI agents and language model tools that request it via HTTP content negotiation 
(<code>Accept: text/markdown</code>).
The Chancery Lane Project is a charity that helps organisations reduce emissions using the power of legal documents and processes. We’ve published this plugin as we believe that making content more legible for AI Agents makes a meaningful difference to their energy usage – not only by reducing the amount of tokens required (by up to 90% over HTML) to consume the content, but also minimising the server resources required to render, process and display pages at source.
How it works:
<ol>
<li>Posts and taxonomy archive pages are converted to Markdown and saved as static 
files on disk inside <code>wp-content/uploads/</code>.</li>
<li>When a visitor (or AI agent) requests a page with <code>Accept: text/markdown</code> in 
the HTTP headers, WordPress serves the pre-generated <code>.md</code> file directly — 
no page render required.</li>
<li>A <code><link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown"></code> tag is added to each page’s 
 so agents can discover Markdown versions automatically.</li>
</ol>
Features:
<ul>
<li>Content negotiation (<code>Accept: text/markdown</code>, <code>?output_format=md</code>, or known AI User-Agents)</li>
<li>Taxonomy archive support — category, tag, and custom taxonomy term pages served as Markdown post listings</li>
<li>Automatic Markdown generation on post save; taxonomy archives auto-update when any post in the term changes</li>
<li>AJAX bulk generation with live progress counter — no page timeouts on large sites</li>
<li>Per-post-type field configuration — choose which meta/ACF fields go in frontmatter or body</li>
<li>ACF support with dot notation for nested group fields (e.g. <code>group.subfield</code>)</li>
<li>Content fields option — use ACF fields as the body content instead of post_content</li>
<li>Manifest generation with content hashes and change tracking per post type</li>
<li>Incremental export — only re-export changed documents (<code>--incremental</code>)</li>
<li>Delta file (<code>changes.json</code>) for RAG system sync</li>
<li>Access statistics — logs AI agent requests with a dedicated stats admin page</li>
<li>Optional frontmatter fields — hierarchy (parent/ancestors/children IDs), author display name, root-relative featured image paths</li>
<li>Topics section — appends a <code>## Topics</code> section with linked taxonomy terms to the Markdown body</li>
<li>Export preview — preview generated Markdown inline in the post editor without writing to disk</li>
<li>WP-CLI commands: <code>generate</code>, <code>generate-taxonomies</code>, <code>prune-stats</code>, <code>status</code>, <code>delete</code></li>
<li>Fully unit-tested</li>
</ul>
