Add button to WP-MarkDown toolbar? #55

I'm a heavy user and big fan of WP-MarkDown, and I'm working on implementing a button to the normal TinyMCE editor, which I'm sure will be useful enough for most people but I'd like to also add this button to the WP-MD toolbar. Is this currently possible? If so, can you point me at how? Thanks!

Unfortunately as far as I'm aware this won't be possible. Maybe it is, but I'll explain why TinyMCE is disabled when using WP-MD for a post type. TinyMCE/WordPress (when switching from Visual to Text) 'corrects' the HTML. Since it's not expecting markdown, the entered markdown gets clobbered.

It might be possible to jump in, convert the markdown to HTML and feed that to TinyMCE (But then you need to work out how to do the reverse - it's not easy!).

Sorry I can't be of any more help, but if you go ahead with this, good luck and I'd love to see what you come up with!

I'm sorry, my question was incomplete. All the button does is insert a shortcode after selecting a post from a custom post type. I'm working on registering that button in TinyMCE, but I'm wondering how I would register this button on your editor.

Edit: I'm working on a plugin! Derp, most important part :-/

Does that make more sense?

My mistake, I thought you actually swapped out the TinyMCE editor for your own, instead of just disabling the visual editor. Nevermind!
