Markdown formatter in WordPress (Jetpack’s one) by default does not format parts inside block elements:
[code language=”html”]
<div style="margin-left: 50px">
Thus, _this_ will **not** work!
</div>
[/code]
But, with addition of markdown="1" you can enable the magic:
[code language=”html”]
<div style="margin-left: 50px" markdown="1">
And _this_ **will** work!
</div>
[/code]
I love simple solutions!
This is a dummy example post body, that can be used for testing Markdown rendering in any WordPress post or in any Markdown supporting page at all. I wrote it months ago and started using it for testing Markdown on Save Improved plugin. But then in turned out, that this quick sheet can be used virtually everwhere, where Markdown can be used. Just paste everything or selected part to test and verify Markdown in your blog, website, service etc.
Read More “Test page for Markdown on Save Improved plugin”I’m using CMarkdown class to render Markdown-formatted texts stored in separate files (more details in this blog post). And I’ve run into issue with links in Markdown pointing to a different controller then current one.
This article provides some solution for this problem.
