How to use

Simply add the metaparsedown shortcode to your post, identifying the markdown document in the url attribute:

[metaparsedown url='https://gitlab.com/pagerange/docs/raw/master/markdown/test_markdown.md' /]

Optionally, parse and save markdown YAML front matter to the post_meta table by adding the meta attribute.

[metaparsedown url='https://gitlab.com/pagerange/docs/raw/master/markdown/test_markdown.md' meta="true" /]

Optionally, overwrite the post’s ‘post_title’ and ‘post_excerpt’ fields with YAML values by adding the overwrite attribute.

[metaparsedown url='https://gitlab.com/pagerange/docs/raw/master/markdown/test_markdown.md' meta="true" overwrite="true" /]
