Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This block has the function of editing Markdown documents using SimpleMDE, and by parsing Markdown documents using marked, it can assign specific blocks to the converted HTML elements.

This function allows users to customize Markdown documents using the styling functions of the corresponding blocks, allowing for a wide range of styling.

The following are the blocks that are applied when Markdown documents are parsed into HTML elements.

  • H element: itmar/design-title
  • P element: core/paragraph
  • PRE element: itmar/code-highlight
  • IMG element: core/image
  • BLOCKQUOTE element: core/quote
  • LI element: core/list
  • TABLE element: core/table

The H element is also generated as a table of contents, and has the function of displaying nested items according to level.

This plugin does not require any external resources (all scripts and styles are included locally)
