Typewriter replaces the Visual Editor with a simple Markdown editor for your posts and pages.
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 Typewriter version 1.0 as active, updated 13y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.6.
Typewriter completely removes the “Visual Editor” feature in WordPress and replaces it
with a simple Markdown editor so that you can join sites like StackOverflow and Github in writing in the
simple and growingly popular Markdown format.
For the more technical among you, Typewriter removes the TinyMCE editor and defaults to a Markdown specific “Text” editor
and parses the output using MarkdownExtra.
Not yet marked as tested with WordPress 7.1. WordPress.org currently lists Tested up to 3.6.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
No tracked version or compatibility changes have been recorded by WP PlugIndex yet.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
