Description
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.

FAQ
- What is Markdown?
- Do I have to convert my HTML content?
-
No. You can still use normal HTML in your posts and pages. Markdown will simply ignore the HTML and only parse
any Markdown specific code that it finds. - What happens to my content if I deactivate the plugin?
-
Unfortunaetly your content will not be parsed by MarkdownExtra anymore and will appear like it does in the text
editor. In this case you would need to convert your Markdown content to normal HTML.
