*Known Issues:
– Publishing an Artikel/Site or update ist can cause an error-message “Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (…)”
maybe this is theme specific or it depends to other plugins!
A brief Markdown Example
Unordered list:
- Make opacity from the overlay-pic with the arrow on the preview-pic adjustable
- resizing of the previewpic doesn’t work correct!
Here’s a link to WordPress and one to Markdown’s Syntax Documentation.
Titles are optional, naturally.
Markdown uses email style notation for blockquotes and I’ve been told:
Asterisks for emphasis. Double it up for strong.
<?php code(); // goes in backticks ?>
