Parsedown is an efficient, modern PHP implementation of the Markdown syntax originally developed by John Gruber. This plugin runs your posts and comments through the Parsedown Extra version, which has additional features that are part of the Markdown Extra extension by Michel Fortin.
Michel wrote the original Markdown plugin for WordPress, and this aims to be a 100% compatible drop-in replacement for that. Michel’s original plugin is no longer supported as of February 1, 2014.
So why Parsedown? It’s faster, more consistent and is being actively developed.
Development of this WordPress plugin takes place over on GitHub. If you have any support requests, I do monitor the support forums on here, or you can contact me directly.
Installation
- Upload the
