A beautiful visual Markdown editor for Wordpress

== Description ==

WP Markdown Editor replaces the default editor with SimpleMDE editor - a beautiful and intuitive Markdown editor.
The plugin uses the Markdown module from [Jetpack](http://jetpack.me) for parsing and saving content.

If you are not familiar with Markdown, Markdown is used by writers and bloggers who want a quick and easy way to write
rich text, without having to take their hands off the keyboard, and without learning a lot of complicated codes and shortcuts.
Refer to the [Markdown Quick Reference](http://hoducha.com/markdown-guide.html) page for help.

Check out the [Screenshots](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-markdown-editor/screenshots/ "Screenshots") to see how it looks.

The plugin is open source on [GitHub](https://github.com/hoducha/wp-markdown-editor).
