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. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Markup Markdown version 4.0.2 as active, updated 1mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin replaces the Gutenberg block editor (or the classic TinyMCE) on the edit screen with EasyMDE, a markdown editor based on CodeMirror, fine-tuned to work smoothly with the WordPress admin panels.
The content is saved with the markdown syntax in the database and is rendered on the frontend thanks to the Parsedown PHP library after being sanitized via WordPress native filters.
That’s pretty all you should know. It’s under active development, keep in touch and feel free to drop a line on the forum, to let a rating or even support me by buying a coffee!
