Has there been any further work on this? I'm looking for a way to create clean XHTML code that meets accessibility standards and it appears the FCK just adds tons of tags.

Try it

That's for Textile (I'll test it this week), is someone handling MarkDown ?

I had pointed to phpMarkDown which should make things easier...

[Berlueur]

Yeah, what about Markdown? Anybody working on that? If not, anybody could?

I would really like a Markdown plugin of some sort... I absolutely love Markdown.

[davidm]

I am no expert but phpMarkDown seems to make it easy to integrate to a CMS.

Instructions are here : http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/

Hi,

Looking at the phpMarkdown instructions, I think the following plugin should work - set it to run on the 'OnWebPagePrerender' event:

Code:

// phpMarkdown integration

$e = &$modx->Event;

switch ($e->name) {
case "OnWebPagePrerender":
include_once("markdown.php"); //change path to where the markdown script is located
$pg=&$modx->documentOutput;
$modx->documentOutput = Markdown($pg);
break;
default:
return;
break;
}

I've not tried this yet but, in theory, should work. 

Cheers, Garry

If it's as simple as that, then it's truly a testimony of MODx power

Berlueur, could you try that and report ?
Thanks !

[Berlueur]

Yeah, I have made my "own" Markdown plugin after posting my message and before reading the responses here... (by totally ripping off Raymond Irving's plugin).

I'm actually a bit excited to have "made" my first MODx plugin... so much so that I made a little package.

(BTW, MODx thoroughly rocks...)

The plugin lives here.

Here goes.

Did you post it somewhere on the forum? Please make a new topic with [Plugin] as the prefix of the title, and name the plugin, so we can add it to the repository Good job with your first try...

Have fun with MODx!

[Berlueur]

Yes, it is attached to my post, just above...

I will make a new topic, although it feels a bit strange since I did almost nothing...

I download the package and follow the readme but when I edit to document the FCKeditor kick in and I don't see any markdown stuff even I set FCKEditor to no in the system config.

What am I missing?

Thanks

[davidm]

Maybe the little instructions I wrote for the Textile plugin will help, since the principle is similar.

Just modify <textile> and </textile> by <markdown> and </markdown> (that is, if berlueur followed the same logic , didn't test this one yet).

Hope this helps !

[Berlueur]

Yes, Markdown directives need to be enclosed in <markdown> </markdown tags.

[davidm]

Yeah well let's also mention there is a ReadMe in the distributed plugin

Berlueur, so that everyone downloads the right version, I suggest you take your download off this thread and keep only one on your the official plugin post

This will avoid confusion and mistakes

Anyway, great work this is very nice having Mardown working

[chanh]

I put <markdown>[*content*]</markdown> in the template and it works but I did the same thing for <textile></textile> but for some reason it does not work the tag that tried.
