Markup Markdown

by Pierre-Henri Lavigne on WordPress.org

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

(11)

This plugin replaces the Gutenberg block editor (or the classic TinyMCE) on the edit screen with EasyMDE, 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 Parsedown 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 to drop a line on the forum, to let a rating or even support me by buying a coffee !
