This plugin replaces the Gutenberg block editor (or the classic TinyMCE) on the edit screen with <a href="https://github.com/Ionaru/easy-markdown-editor" rel="nofollow ugc">EasyMDE</a>, a markdown editor based on CodeMirror, fine-tuned to work smoothly with the WordPress admin panels.
The content is saved with the markdown syntax in the database and is rendered on the frontend thanks to the <a href="https://parsedown.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Parsedown</a> PHP library after being sanitized via WordPress native filters.
That’s pretty all you should know. It’s under active development, keep in touch and feel free <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/markup-markdown/" rel="ugc">to drop a line on the forum</a>, <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/markup-markdown/reviews/" rel="ugc">to let a rating</a> or even support me by buying a coffee !

Markup Markdown


Just a fact: all the main AI GPTs generate Markdown by default. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em! I LOVE this plugin, as I can now create AI style websites on the WordPress platform. If you notice: all the main commercial AI sites have a similar "A.I. Style". Which is - dark or light mode, a chat box, and the most important thing: Markdown. Anyway, I'm using this plugin. Great stuff!



My one nitpick - The plugin generates configuration files in wp-content. This is bad news and there is no reason for it. On many sites wp-content is publicly exposed to the internet. Anyway, this data should be move to site options in the database.


AI responds in Markdown

Disable Wordpress's native Gutenberg or TinyMCE editor in favor of a Markdown editor.

Typewriter completely removes the “Visual Editor” feature in WordPress and replaces it 
with a simple Markdown editor so that you can join sites like StackOverflow and Github in writing in the 
simple and growingly popular <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown format</a>.
For the more technical among you, Typewriter removes the TinyMCE editor and defaults to a Markdown specific “Text” editor 
and parses the output using MarkdownExtra.

Typewriter

Typewriter replaces the Visual Editor with a simple Markdown editor for your posts and pages.
