Hello!

I'm wondering to know if it is possible to put Markdown support on TikiWiki roadmap. As many of you know, Markdown is a syntax widely supported by many CMS, text editors, JS and PHP libraries and other Wiki services.

There are even some e-mail plugins, like https://markdown-here.com/" class="wiki wikinew text-danger tips">Markdown Here, that allow users to write e-mails on Markdown language and the convert to HTML before sending emails.

Some ""competitors"" allow Markdown support as a plugin, like:


Also, some other frameworks have extensions for markdown:


So, as Markdown became familiar for a lot of non-technical users, I bet supporting Markdown is a good move for Tiki and also, it may turn easy migrating from other platform using Markdown to TikiWiki.

Solution

First basic working implementation done using a wiki-plugin (PluginMarkdown) for Tiki 20.

As per the decisions of the TikiFest Montreal 2018 we will use Commonmark Markdown flavor using this PHP lib: https://commonmark.thephpleague.com/
