Plugin Description
This is a simple plugin to help you write posts or pages in plain-text Markdown syntax. And even allowing plaint-text Markdown for comments as well. It will also switch-off the Visual Editor, as you don’t need distractions. This plugin sits on top of a giant’s shoulder, namely Jetpack.
This plugin is also installable via composer, see: https://github.com/7php/MarkItDownWordpress
Roadmap
- By default, toggle the checkbox to true for Settings > Writing > ‘Use Markdown for posts and pages’
- By default, toggle the checkbox to true for Settings > Discussion > ‘Use Markdown for comments’
- In plain-tex editor mode, remove the short-formatting buttons, e.g [b, i, link, b-quote, del].. etc. Make the editor, distraction free.
- Make an effort to provide Markdown buttons for the equivalent of [b, i, link, b-quote, del], just like bbcodes.
