It also extends Markdown with a couple features made popular [by GitHub](https://github.com/github/github-flavored-markdown). Conversion from Markdown to HTML is completely automated and doesn’t require anything on the commenter’s part. The feature additions from GitHub are: * Single linebreaks are treated as new paragraphs * Code “fencing” with three backticks (“`) Two notable features from GitHub’s Markdown implementation are missing: * To do lists: Doing these well would require some front end interaction, which I decided is outside the scope of this plugin at least for now * Repository autolinking (e.g. comments, issues, etc): These seemed a little _too_ GitHub-specific. GitHub-Flavored Markdown Comments is developed, unsurprisingly, [on GitHub](https://github.com/evansolomon/wp-github-flavored-markdown-comments). ## Screenshots * [[ * Example of pre- and post- converted text (live previews are not (yet) includeded in the plugin). ## Installation This plugin doesn’t have any options. Install it, activate it, and it’s on. **Note:** GitHub-flavored Markdown Comments required PHP **5.3** or later. If your server has PHP 5.2, this plugin will quickly break your site. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “GitHub-Flavored Markdown Comments” is open source software.
