Install
No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:
wp plugin install https://github.com/benitolopez/tiny-markdown-editor/archive/refs/heads/main.zipA WordPress plugin that replaces the block and classic editors with a plain textarea. Markdown is converted to HTML on output.
Why this exists
I built this for my (upcoming) own blog. I wanted to write posts in markdown without the overhead of Gutenberg or TinyMCE. It does what I need and nothing more.
What it does
- Disables the block editor
- Disables the visual mode in the classic editor
- Converts markdown to HTML when displaying content
- Uses Parsedown for markdown parsing
- Disables block editor scripts and styles
Supported markdown
Basic stuff only, not aiming to support every markdown extension out there.
