Any recommendation for markdown support in Wordpress
-
Since I spun up a WP instance for myselff again, I was looking at syntax stuff.
Markdown is really my preference anymore, but a fast search of WordPress plugins does not return anything obviously worth it.
So before trying various things out, I figured I would ask for a recommendation.
I'm not too worried about code highlighting or syntax recognition. But those are a nice bonus.

I used the generic WordPress.com and they had markdown built into the wysiwyg editor (if I remember right) but it kind of sucked.
I gave up on it and switched to what I'm doing now. I never found anything good, but again it was their hosted not something I was running.

I'm not using markdown editing in WP (wish I could), but I am using the classic style, because it just integrates so much better with other plugins such as Yoast and Enlighter. The editing experience is better IMO than the default.

That's what I've been using for everything. My blog is still WP, but only because I don't have the time to convert it yet.

I looked at Hugo, but something about it annoyed me. I'll have to spin it up again to know what it was.

It was in this thread.
Likely the bad theme I chose at random skewed my feelings with it.

Okay giving it another go with Hugo

Yeah I agree with that

What about using Ghost? I started with it before moving to Wordpress. It is completely markdown if I remember right. I liked it but didn't feel the plugin availability was there.
