Hi @stephenh1988
Thank you so much for creating this plugin. I have found this to be the best Markdown solution for years. I have wishes for future versions, but I wonder if you are going to update this plugin so it will work with the Gutenberg editor and be supported in Wordpress 5.
I have thought of a workflow like this:
Wp-Markdown handles Markdown and HTML as it did before via the code editor.
If the user changes to the visual editor the blocks which Gutenberg uses should be replacing the Markdown content. So Markdown would be shown only when the code editor was in focus.
If this is a possibility, it would be very helpful for people like me who writes plain Markdown, but if I collaborate with a user who wants to use Gutenberg, we could work without any issues, because the Markdown is transformed into regular blocks when the visual editor is in focus, and Markdown is shown when the code editor is focused.
As it is now, Markdown support in Wordpress 5 is possible, but in many cases only text formatting is supported. Links, footnotes, tables etc. can not be done in Markdown.
Let us share some thoughts about how we can get this wonderful plugin back on the top of the Wordpress plugin repository. :)
Best regards Thomas
