BlogText (<a href="http://blogtext.mayastudios.com" rel="nofollow ugc">http://blogtext.mayastudios.com</a>) is a plugin for WordPress that allows you to use a simple wiki-like syntax (based on the Creole wiki syntax) to write your posts and pages. This syntax is easy-to-learn and fast-to-type. The goal behind BlogText is that you don’t need to write HTML anymore to achieve the desired text layout.
The following list lists some of the markups supported by BlogText. For a more complete list, see <a href="http://blogtext.mayastudios.com/syntax/" rel="nofollow ugc">BlogText’s syntax description page</a> (which is written entirely in BlogText syntax and demonstrates BlogText’s capabilities).
Supported markup:
<ul>
<li>Basic text formatting such as bold, italics, underlining, and strike-through</li>
<li>Lists</li>
<li>Tables</li>
<li>Internal and external links</li>
<li>Headings</li>
<li>Table of contents</li>
<li>Preformatted text and code blocks with syntax highlighting</li>
</ul>
BlogText also integrates itself into <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/classic-editor/" rel="ugc">WordPress’ classic editor</a> (which is the recommended way to write BlogText) by providing its own buttons (to create BlogText syntax), media browser integration, and help links. This make writing posts with BlogText even easier.

Got a bug report or want to contribute? Please do so on the <a href="https://github.com/robinadr/parsedown-wp/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub issue tracker</a> or <a href="https://github.com/robinadr/parsedown-wp/pulls" rel="nofollow ugc">submit a pull request</a>.
<a href="http://parsedown.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Parsedown</a> is an efficient, modern PHP implementation of the <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown</a> syntax originally developed by John Gruber. This plugin runs your posts and comments through the <a href="https://github.com/erusev/parsedown-extra" rel="nofollow ugc">Parsedown Extra</a> version, which has additional features that are part of the <a href="https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/extra/" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown Extra</a> extension by Michel Fortin.
Michel wrote the <a href="https://michelf.ca/projects/php-markdown/classic/" rel="nofollow ugc">original Markdown plugin for WordPress</a>, and this aims to be a 100% compatible drop-in replacement for that. Michel’s original plugin is no longer supported as of February 1, 2014.
So why Parsedown? It’s <a href="http://parsedown.org/speed" rel="nofollow ugc">faster</a>, <a href="http://parsedown.org/consistency" rel="nofollow ugc">more consistent</a> and is being <a href="https://github.com/erusev/parsedown" rel="nofollow ugc">actively developed</a>.
Development of this WordPress plugin <a href="https://github.com/robinadr/parsedown-wp" rel="nofollow ugc">takes place over on GitHub</a>. If you have any support requests, I do monitor the support forums on here, or you can <a href="http://robinadr.com/contact" rel="nofollow ugc">contact me directly</a>.

Parsedown for WordPress

I really love Parsedown, I created a web app with it recently to host Markdown files on my server. I was really impressed with Parsedown's speed. This plugin is exactly what I was looking for, so I could store my posts as Markdown in WordPress yet display them as HTML on the front-end.

Love this plugin

This plugin processes your posts and comments using the Parsedown library. It is a direct replacement for PHP Markdown Extra by Michel Fortin.
