Replaces the old "quicktags" toolbar with MarkItUp, a lightweight costumizable markup editor with XHTML, Textile, Wiki, Markdown and BBcode toolbars!

== Description ==

WP MarkItUp! is the Wordpress plugin that replaces the old "quicktags" toolbar with [MarkItUp!](http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/home/ "MarkItUp! official website"), a lightweight jQuery plugin that allows to turn any textarea into an highly customizable markup editor. **XHTML, Textile, Wiki, Markdown and BBcode** toolbars are already provided out-of-the-box, but even your own markup syntax can be easily implemented with this system. The plugin currently features three different skins for the toolbar, new ones are about to come.

== Installation ==

1. Download the zipped plugin (the latest version will always be available at the [WP MarkItUp! official page](http://wpmarkitup.stefanoverna.com/ "WP MarkItUp!")).
2. Unzip it and upload the whole `wp_markitup` directory to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
3. Make sure the permissions on all .php files it are at least 755. If you can SSH, simply go to  the `wp_markitup` directory and type `find . -name '*.php' | xargs chmod 755`. Alternatively, just use any FTP client (Filezilla, Cyberduck) to do it manually.
4. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
5. Go to the WP MarkItUp! setting page under the **Settings** section. Here you can choose the toolbar and the skin to activate from the available ones.
6. There's no step six. Enjoy your brand new 21st century editor ;)

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I have successfully deactivated the plugin, but the visual tinyMCE editor doesn't show up! =

You need to go to your Profile page, and check the "Use the visual editor when writing" option.

= How can I add my own personal tagset to the plugin? =

You basically need to create a new directory inside the `/wp-content/plugins/wp_markitup/markitup/sets/` directory containing the toolbar stylesheet `style.css`, `set.php` which is the markItUp! toolbar specification and `infos.php`, a simple file used by the plugin to know if the tagset needs some external plugin to work.  
Please note that `set.php`, despite its extension, it's a common Javascript source code file: the php it's just for localization purposes.
 
Your're strongly suggested to read the well written [markItUp! documentation](http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/documentation/ "MarkItUp! documentation") on how to setup your custom tagset, and watch a couple of [markItUp! examples](http://markitup.jaysalvat.com/examples/) for yourself.

= How can I add a new skin/edit an existing one? =

Even easier. You just need to have some basic CSS knowledge and have to look at the `wp_markitup/markitup/skins/` directory. You'll find a directory for each existing skin. Each dir will contain a stylesheet named `style.css`. It's common to see also an `images` directory used by the stylesheet itself.

= I would like to become a WP MarkItUp! translator! =

Great! You can start installing [Poedit](http://www.poedit.net/download.php) and opening the `wp_markitup/languages/markitup-it_IT.po` file with it. It's all pretty straightforward. If you have problems or you want to submit me the finished translation, don't hesitate to [contact me](http://www.stefanoverna.com/about/).
