This block has the function of editing Markdown documents using SimpleMDE, and by parsing Markdown documents using marked, it can assign specific blocks to the converted HTML elements. 
This function allows users to customize Markdown documents using the styling functions of the corresponding blocks, allowing for a wide range of styling. 
The following are the blocks that are applied when Markdown documents are parsed into HTML elements.
<ol>
<li>H element: itmar/design-title</li>
<li>P element: core/paragraph</li>
<li>PRE element: itmar/code-highlight</li>
<li>IMG element: core/image</li>
<li>BLOCKQUOTE element: core/quote</li>
<li>LI element: core/list</li>
<li>TABLE element: core/table</li>
</ol>
The H element is also generated as a table of contents, and has the function of displaying nested items according to level. 
This plugin does not require any external resources (all scripts and styles are included locally)

<li>This plugin uses EasyMDE to implement the editing function of Markdown documents. This is an open source JavaScript library provided under the MIT license.

EasyMDE comes with a spell check feature. 
When using this feature, it will try to load an external file (en_US.aff / en_US.dic) from a CDN. To avoid this, this plugin sets spellChecker: false, when instantiating EasyMDE, so that the external file will not be loaded.</li>

<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.
