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.

Mescio

Mescio for Agents makes your WordPress site AI-ready by silently serving posts, pages and WooCommerce products as clean, structured Markdown to any AI agent or LLM pipeline that requests it — using the standard HTTP <code>Accept: text/markdown</code> content negotiation header.
Human visitors using a browser are completely unaffected. Mescio for Agents only activates when an AI agent or crawler explicitly asks for Markdown.
<h4>Why Markdown?</h4>
Feeding raw HTML to an AI is expensive and noisy. A heading like <code>## About Us</code> costs ~3 tokens in Markdown vs 12–15 tokens as HTML — before accounting for <code><div></code> wrappers, navigation bars and script tags that carry zero semantic value. This blog post you are reading takes 16,180 tokens in HTML and 3,150 tokens in Markdown. That is an 80% reduction.
Markdown has become the lingua franca for AI systems. Mescio for Agents lets your site speak it natively, at zero cost to your human visitors.
<h4>How it works</h4>
When an HTTP client sends a request with <code>Accept: text/markdown</code>, Mescio for Agents intercepts the WordPress request lifecycle before any template is rendered, converts the post content to clean Markdown, and returns it with the correct <code>Content-Type: text/markdown</code> header.
<pre><code>curl https://yoursite.com/your-post/ \
 -H "Accept: text/markdown"
</code></pre>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Zero configuration — works out of the box on any singular post, page or custom post type</li>
<li><code>/llms.txt</code> endpoint — auto-generated index of all your content in the <a href="https://llmstxt.org" rel="nofollow ugc">llmstxt.org</a> standard format, so AI agents can discover what’s on your site</li>
<li><code>/llms-full.txt</code> endpoint — full site content in a single Markdown file, ready for RAG pipelines</li>
<li>WooCommerce support — product pages include price, SKU, stock status, rating, attributes and gallery; products are grouped by category in <code>llms.txt</code></li>
<li>YAML front matter — every document includes structured metadata (title, description, URL, date, categories, tags, featured image)</li>
<li>Multilingual — detects language via WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress or WordPress locale; emits <code>Content-Language</code> and <code>Link: rel=alternate</code> headers</li>
<li>REST API endpoint — <code>/wp-json/mescio-for-agents/v1/markdown?id=<post_id></code> or <code>?url=<permalink></code></li>
<li>Page builder cleanup — aggressively strips Elementor, Divi, WPBakery and Beaver Builder layout noise</li>
<li>Token count header — <code>X-Markdown-Tokens</code> tells AI pipelines how large the document is before processing</li>
<li>Content Signals — emits <code>Content-Signal: ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes</code></li>
<li>Correct HTTP caching — <code>Vary: Accept</code> ensures CDNs cache HTML and Markdown versions separately</li>
</ul>
<h4>Response headers</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8</code></li>
<li><code>Content-Language: it</code> (or detected language)</li>
<li><code>Vary: Accept</code></li>
<li><code>X-Markdown-Tokens: 725</code></li>
<li><code>Content-Signal: ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes</code></li>
<li><code>Link: <url>; rel="alternate"; hreflang="en"</code> (when translations available)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Multilingual plugin support</h4>
<ul>
<li>WPML — reads language and available translations automatically</li>
<li>Polylang — reads language and links to translated post IDs</li>
<li>TranslatePress — reads <code>trp_language</code> post meta</li>
<li>Manual — configure primary language and additional languages in Settings → Mescio for Agents</li>
</ul>
<h4>REST API</h4>
<pre><code>GET /wp-json/mescio-for-agents/v1/markdown?id=42
GET /wp-json/mescio-for-agents/v1/markdown?url=https://yoursite.com/my-page/
</code></pre>
<h4>Developer hooks</h4>

Filter: <code>mescio_pre_convert_content</code> — modify the HTML before conversion to Markdown.
Filter: <code>mescio_post_convert_content</code> — modify the Markdown after conversion.
