Edit and Export as Markdown in Etherpad
npm install ep_markdown!Publish Status !Backend Tests Status
Markdown editing in Etherpad
============================
Features
========
* Use the normal editbar buttons to add markdown.
* Import as Markdown (automatically applies styling / text attributes).
* Export as Markdown.
* Localizations.
Usage
=====
To enable Markdown view click Settings -> Markdown
Limitations
===========
This plugin is not designed for you to write Markdown and it format that markdown with styling. So you can't expect to type \\blah\\ and expect to see blah in bold. You can however type blah, set it as bold and then click "Show as Markdown" and it will show \\bold\\. I will not be adding support for supporting typing in markdown which will render to a style because it will be impossible to handle character control.
Setting as default
==================
Paste the below into your settings.
"ep_markdown_default": true,
Todo
====
* Support ALL styles fully (please let me know what does / doesn't work)
* Create markdown icon for export menu
* Better code block support (currently it's line by line)
* Import Markdown (and it applies formatting automatically)
Requirements
============
Etherpad 1.8.1
