Markdown Editor For Joomla

I have been looking for a Joomla Markdown Editor for a long time, but never found one unfortunately. So I decided to create a plugin for Markdown¹ extra. This is my first version. A little bit rough around the edges (beta) but with some testing and feedback from users it will get better :-) Update: This version is not beta anymore.

Markdown is intended to be as easy-to-read and easy-to-write as is feasible.

Readability, however, is emphasized above all else. A Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions.

Markdown Extra² is a special version of PHP Markdown implementing some features currently not available with the plain Markdown syntax.

The editor is based on the very lighweight markItUp³ editor.

The description on JED is written in Markdown syntax. You can see the HTML output on my site: demo

Installation Instructions

• Download, install and enable the Yoonique Markdown editor plugin.
  • Menu Extensions -> Install
  • Menu Extensions -> Plugin Manager
• Download, install and enable the Yoonique Markdown content plugin (see download section).
• If the editor doesn't work, it is most likely a jQuery conflict, in that case set load jqery to no in the plugin configuration.
• That should be it. If you have any questions, please post in the forum.
