<p>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.<br />
This function allows users to customize Markdown documents using the styling functions of the corresponding blocks, allowing for a wide range of styling.<br />
The following are the blocks that are applied when Markdown documents are parsed into HTML elements.</p>
<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>
<p>The H element is also generated as a table of contents, and has the function of displaying nested items according to level.<br />
This plugin does not require any external resources (all scripts and styles are included locally)</p>

EasyMDE comes with a spell check feature.<br />
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>
