<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>
