Markdown Editor for ClassicPress

The posts and pages on this ClassicPress blog are written in Markdown. To render them as HTML I used the azrcrv-markdown plug-in. It did its job well, but it lacks a Markdown editor. To fix that I created a plug-in that replaces the regular ClassicPress editors (TinyMCE and Quicktags) with a Markdown editor (EasyMDE). You […]
