Markdown editor updated!

Question

Just a quick announcement to say I've update the Markdown editor plugin! It uses the latest "PageDown" version for the client-side editor, and I switched to a different PHP Markdown parser (cebe/markdown) which is much faster and uses better PHP code. Requires PHP 5.4.

It's also possible to extend it yourself if you so wanted by adding functions to the MyMarkdown.php class (see the cebe/markdown repo for details on how extending works)

Markdown Editor v2.5 available here

Answer below if you find any problems.

Good job! Do parsedown and cebe/markdown use similar syntax/flavour?

Right now I'm using PHP Parsedown Extra (extremely fast)
And showdown.JS clientside. Of course they parse differently.

does Markdown editor now support images uploading?

@donshakespeare they should be similar but there may be edge cases. The cebe one follows the CommonMark spec better so if there are differences, cebe is more likely to be doing the "correct" thing.

@Mayuresh no not yet, that's on the list to do when I get around to it!

It will be better if this plugin is added for creating pages.

---

@proThoughts you mean creating new Questions or creating Custom Pages in Admin? Wait till July 4th, my new editor will do both.

@donshakespeare, thanks! released your plugin?

I got blown up by fireworks here atop them mountains. Will be down to a desk soon. :)
