ExpressionEngine Markdown Fieldtype.

Note: This field is in early development, but currently highly functional. Community support welcome and will be given credit.

This is a Markdown custom field for ExpressionEngine. It updates as you type to display the rendered Markdown, giving you instant feedback on your output.

Features:

1. Comes with a default styesheet for the Markdown preview pane.
2. Users can change the default stylesheet to a custom CSS file.
3. Users can select a stylesheet per custom field - Make the markdown output look and feel just like the front-end!
4. Matrix compatible!

Usage:

1. Install into themes/third_party and expressionengine/third_party as usual
2. Install Module and Fieldtype from Add-Ons area in Admin
3. Use Markdown fieldtype, either alone or within Matrix
4. Module tag: {exp:markdown:toHTML}content{/exp:markdown:toHTML}

Example Usage:

{exp:markdown:toHTML}
### This is an h3 tag

1. This is
2. A numbered list
3. Of fun and excitement!

And this will show as a paragraph
{/exp:markdown:toHTML}

To Do:

1. Get rid of AJAX, replace with client-side Markdown parser. Suggestions very welcome.

Change Log
