wet_textfilter_markdown: Markdown textfilter plugin

Textfilters transform text entered into the article’s bodies and excerpts into the final HTML.

Textpattern supports Textile and nl2br out of the box. This plugin extends Textpatterns capabilities by adding Markdown Extra to the filter set.

Source, documentation and download.

Re: wet_textfilter_markdown: Markdown textfilter plugin

v1.0 for PHP 8.2+ compatibility released.

Grab it here.

wet_textfilter_markdown now uses the ZIP distribution format, therefore it requires Textpattern 4.8+.

Re: wet_textfilter_markdown: Markdown textfilter plugin

Hi everyone, I used AI to integrate a visual Markdown editor into the writer field using your plugin

All I had to do was upload that file and overwrite the existing one in: /public_html/textpattern/plugins/wet_textfilter_markdown. I also uploaded Parsedown.php and ParsedownExtra.php to the same folder, and it worked.

Here’s how it looks

Let me know what the next steps are. I just wanted to share this with you all.

Re: wet_textfilter_markdown: Markdown textfilter plugin

Hi robhert,

thanks for sharing your modification – it’s great to see the plugin being adapted to suit different workflows! A visual Markdown editor is certainly a useful enhancement for many users.

Since this is a feature I wouldn’t personally use or maintain, I think the best way forward is for you to develop and publish it as your own plugin. That way, you can fully own, update, and share your version with the community on your own terms. The Textpattern plugin development guide is a helpful starting point if you decide to go that route.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the process, and thanks again for contributing your ideas to the community.
