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>

Berq Markdown – Markdown Pages for AI & LLM Crawlers

Serve any WordPress page or post as a clean Markdown file optimized for AI and LLM crawlers by appending .md to the URL.

Meerkat Markdown for AI Visibility collects URLs using WordPress queries and generates an llms.txt file (short for “Large Language Models”) in the website’s root directory — optionally providing dynamic .md files — to help AI-based systems better understand and make use of the site’s content. The llms.txt is stored in the root directory. You can configure the number of URLs, set a minimum word count, and exclude specific categories or tags. File generation can be triggered manually or scheduled to run automatically.
Features
<ul>
<li>Gathers URLs with WordPress queries; the <code>wp-sitemap.xml</code> URL is only added to <code>llms.txt</code> as metadata.</li>
<li>Creates <code>llms.txt</code> with <code>[Title • host/path](URL): content</code> entries.</li>
<li>Add a custom site description to the file header.</li>
<li>Limit export to 100 entries or process all URLs.</li>
<li>Posts or pages with fewer than 15 words are skipped: they do not count toward 
the 100-entry limit and are omitted from <code>llms.txt</code>.</li>
<li>Choose 30, 50, 100 words or the full text per entry.</li>
<li>Exclude categories and tags.</li>
<li>Sort <code>llms.txt</code> entries by popularity or most recent first.</li>
<li>Optionally serve dynamic <code>.md</code> files for each page and for author, category and tag archives (adds a robots.txt rule and sitemap link).</li>
<li>Manual generation via the Generate Files Now button.</li>
<li>Automatic WP-Cron schedule (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or disabled) with configurable run time.</li>
<li>Save settings with the Save Changes button.</li>
</ul>
