- Description
I upgraded a Tiki29 to master and enabled Markdown with the markdown syntax to used by default.
That didn't converted previous pages to markdown and I couldn't find a switch to do it page per page (like we had in previous version for the CKEditor).The workaround I found;
- Open, Edit and save a page -> this will add this tag in the page data
- Go to you database, I used phpmyadmin and replace "tiki" with "markdown"
Your page will be converted to markdown and now you need to manually convert the content.- Solution
There could be a solution using the console.php, to be tested:
php console.php markdown:convert -h
