I'm having the same issue, did you manage to fix it @LeValt ?

Got it, missed the note at the bottom:

The preview functionalities and html to markdown conversion are provided by 3rd party codes : markdown-js, marked (default failover if markdown-js lib not available) and to-markdown. Without them, this plugin would still work and convert the content as-is, so you could easily modify those functionalities yourself via available hooks.

I think this needs to be made more prominent?

Hi guys,

The 3rd party library didn't work for me @LeValt and @chrise86, but I found showdown.js library to solve the problem.

Good luck!

I noticed the docs are using this fork of markdown-js.

I also ended up using showdown.js.

It was easy to setup:

<script>
    var markdown = new showdown.Converter();
    markdown.toHTML = function(val) {
        return markdown.makeHtml(val);
    }
</script>

I used marked.js. Just add it to your page and the preview button works great.

You can pass an arbitrary markdown-to-html function using the parser option, like this:

var converter = showdown.Converter();
var convertFunction = converter.makeHtml.bind(converter);
$('textarea').markdown({
  parser: convertFunction, // or whatever
});
