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.

This plugin allows you to write posts (of any post type) using the Markdown syntax. The plugin converts the Markdown into HTML prior to saving the post. When editing a post, the plugin converts it back into Markdown syntax.
The plugin also allows you to enable Markdown in comments and bbPress forums. In these instances the plugin adds a toolbar, and preview of the processed Markdown with <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-code-prettify/" rel="nofollow ugc">Prettify</a> syntax highlighter applied (similiar to that used in the Stack Exchange websites such as <a href="http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Stack Exchange</a>).
WP-Markdown stores the processed HTML, so deactivating the plugin will not affect your posts, comments or bbPress forums.

WP-Markdown

Version 1.5.1 of the plugin works almost perfectly.
I'm just waiting for the upcoming 1.6 update (which is in alpha on GitHub) to be pushed, so I can use GitHub Flavor-style codeblocks specifying the exact language.

Allows Markdown to be enabled in posts, comments and bbPress forums.
