WP Githuber MD – WordPress Markdown Editor Plugin

An all-in-on WordPress Markdown Plugin provides a variety of features such as Markdown editor, live-preview, image-paste, HTML-to-Markdown helper, and more..

Read detailed document, please visit https://github.com/terrylinooo/githuber-md.

Demo

The Video shows you the following steps:

1. Convert HTML to Markdown by using HTML to Markdown tool.
2. Cut up a selection area of an image and copy it from Photoshop, then paste it to Markdown Editor.
3. Click “Update” button to save Markdown to post_content_filtered and save HTML to post_content (it is what you will see in result).
4. View the result.

How it works

1. WP Githuber MD will save your Markdown content into wp_posts.post_content_filtered.
2. Parse the Markdown to HTML, save the parsed HTML content into wp_posts.post_content.

This plugin will detect your Markdown content and decide what scripts will be loaded, to avoid loading unnecessary scripts.
For example, if you enabled Syntax highlight, you have to update your post again to take effects.

Suggestions

The better situation to use this plugin is you just started a new blog.

If you’re planning to use this plugin in an existing blog, be sure to:

• Turn off other Markdown plugins, because the similar plugins might do the same things when submitting your posts, may have some syntax conversion issues between Markdown and HTML.
• My suggestion is to turn off revision and auto-save, there are options in setting page.
