Adds buttons to the Text (HTML) edit which generate Markdown syntax. These buttons serve as a great introduction to 
users who are new to Markdown, as well as shortcuts for more experienced users. The buttons include:
<ul>
<li>Bold</li>
<li>Italic</li>
<li>Blockquote</li>
<li>Link</li>
<li>Code</li>
<li>Table</li>
<li>Headers</li>
<li>Help (links to external Github Markdown guide)</li>
</ul>
This plugin does not modify the Visual editor, as that editor is not ideal for writing Markdown in. It’s recommended you disable 
the Visual editor entirely to enforce using Markdown.
Note that this plugin does not render Markdown. You should use a plugin (such as Jetpack Markdown) to render markdown in your theme.

You cannot help but love the simplicity. Can a code Snippet do this as well?

Love the simplicity


Great plugin to allow you to make your term descriptions more visually appealing. It works just fine with WP 6.3 in lieu of implementing the block editor for term descriptions.


Great plugin - works with WP 6.3

Replaces the plain-text category and tag description editor with a visual editor.
