<h3>Comments that only render in the block editor</h3>
<p>I honestly enjoy drafting articles either locally in Ulysses, or on <a href="https://richtabor.com" rel="nofollow ugc">my blog</a> using the <a href="https://useiceberg.com/?utm_source=wp-org&utm_medium=markdown-comment-block&utm_campaign=readme-description" rel="nofollow ugc">Iceberg Editor</a>. While I do love Iceberg, once I publish an article I typically bring back the default Gutenberg experience — thus removing any comments I previously added.</p>
<p>Having the ability to add, and keep, any relevant editing comments within my posts, without rendering them on the front-end, means that I am freed up to mentally jot any idea down without thinking about it. It is simply natural and convenient.</p>

<h3>What’s interesting about Markdown Comment:</h3>
<h4>1. Editor only</h4>
<p>The block only renders within the editor. For developers reading this, that means there’s no save function. I don’t want my unfinished ideas, reminders, and notes rendered within my post – even if they’re hidden by CSS.</p>
<h4>2. Helpful block transforms</h4>
<p>I added a couple transforms, to and from headings and paragraphs, and a raw shortcut when you type <code>%%</code> and hit the [space] key. This lets me quickly add comments, and even convert whole paragraphs or headings to a comment.</p>
<h4>3. Easily resolve comments</h4>
<p>To support that path towards simplicity, I wanted a method to quickly resolve — i.e. banish — a comment entirely. So, I added a toolbar control to quickly resolve the comment, removing the block entirely.</p>
<h4>4. No rich text support</h4>
<p>Comments need to have minimal impact on editing, and feel as natural as possible. That’s why there are no typical RichText controls (although you can still bold, italicize and add hyperlinks). And while you <em>can</em> change the color of the comment — there are no other typographic controls.</p>
<h4>5. Entirely CSS Variable ready</h4>
<p>Global styles and full site editing are opening the door for themes to be heavily powered by CSS variables. Blocks should be designed with that same mentality, which is exactly what I did here. I added simple CSS variables with fallbacks that are the default values. To further theme the comment, there’s no need to override any styles with classes, just write a few CSS variables.</p>


Markdown Comment Block

Add markdown inspired comments to posts that render only within the block editor.

<p>Markdown Editor replaces the default WordPress editor with a Markdown editor for your posts and pages. This plugin uses the Jetpack Markdown module for converting Markdown into HTML and plays nicely with Jetpack if both plugins are installed.</p>
<p>There are 4 editor layouts to choose from when writing posts: default, preview, full-screen and split screen. Changes are updated automatically allowing you to preview your content as you write.</p>
<p>By default Markdown Editor is only enabled on Posts, but you can enable it on pages and custom post types by adding post type support. For example to add Markdown support to Pages, add the following line of code to your theme’s functions.php file:</p>
<pre><code>add_post_type_support( 'page', 'wpcom-markdown' );
</code></pre>
<p>To add Markdown support to a ‘Product’ custom post type, add this to your theme’s functions.php file:</p>
<pre><code>add_post_type_support( 'product', 'wpcom-markdown' );
</code></pre>
<h3>Syntax Highlighting</h3>
<p>By default, Markdown Editor enables syntax highlighting for code blocks. This can be removed by adding the following line of code to your theme’s functions.php file:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'markdown_editor_highlight', '__return_false' );
</code></pre>
<p>The click to copy button can be removed with the following line:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter( 'markdown_editor_clipboard', '__return_false' );
</code></pre>
