README

WP CommonMark is a plugin for WordPress that enables CommonMark: a strongly specified, highly compatible implementation of Markdown, inside of your WordPress installation.

You can write contents in Markdown using CommonMark latest spec on a per-post basis. The markdown version of your post is stored separately, so you can deactivate this plugin at any moment without breaking things. You can keep some posts in HTML and write others in markdown or switch between both HTML and markdown revisions on the same post.

How to use

You can manage the type of syntax used in your contents, simply by activating or de-activating the switch placed on the "Publish" metabox.
