This function allows users to customize Markdown documents using the styling functions of the corresponding blocks, allowing for a wide range of styling. The following are the blocks that are applied when Markdown documents are parsed into HTML elements. 1. H element: itmar/design-title 2. P element: core/paragraph 3. PRE element: itmar/code-highlight 4. IMG element: core/image 5. BLOCKQUOTE element: core/quote 6. LI element: core/list 7. TABLE element: core/table The H element is also generated as a table of contents, and has the function of displaying nested items according to level. This plugin does not require any external resources (all scripts and styles are included locally) ### Related Links * [markdown-block:Github](https://github.com/itmaroon/markdown-block) * [block-class-package:GitHub](https://github.com/itmaroon/block-class-package) * [block-class-package:Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/itmar/block-class-package) * [itmar-block-packages:npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/itmar-block-packages) * [itmar-block-packages:GitHub](https://github.com/itmaroon/itmar-block-packages) ### Arbitrary section 1. PHP class management is now done using Composer. [GitHub](https://github.com/itmaroon/block-class-package) [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/itmar/block-class-package) 2. I decided to make functions and components common to other plugins into npm packages, and install and use them from npm. [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/itmar-block-packages) [GitHub](https://github.com/itmaroon/itmar-block-packages) ### External services 1. This plugin uses EasyMDE to implement the editing function of Markdown documents. This is an open source JavaScript library provided under the MIT license. [EasyMDE LICENSE](https://github.com/Ionaru/easy-markdown-editor/blob/master/LICENSE) EasyMDE comes with a spell check feature. When using this feature, it will try to load an external file (en_US.aff / en_US.dic) from a CDN. To avoid this, this plugin sets spellChecker: false, when instantiating EasyMDE, so that the external file will not be loaded. 2. This plugin uses marked to parse Markdown documents and convert them to HTML elements. This is an open source JavaScript library provided under the MIT license.
