Introduction
------------
I have been looking for a Joomla Markdown Editor for a long time, but never found one unfortunately. So I decided to create a plugin for Markdown[^1] extra. This is my first version. A little bit rough around the edges (_beta_) but with some testing and feedback from users it will get better :-) A Joomla 1.6 version will follow soon. Please post in the forum if you need a Joomla 1.6 version now.
Markdown is intended to be as easy-to-read and easy-to-write as is feasible.
Readability, however, is emphasized above all else. A Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions.
Markdown Extra[^2] is a special version of PHP Markdown implementing some features currently not available with the plain Markdown syntax.
The editor is based on the very lighweight markItUp[^3] editor.
> Disclaimer.
> This is still beta. So far it has been tested only with Joomla 1.5 Articles and Yootheme's Zoo.
The description on JED is written in Markdown syntax. You can see the HTML output on my site: [demo][demolink]

Installation Instructions
-------------------------
- Download, install and enable the Yoonique Markdown editor plugin.
- Menu `Extensions -> Install`
- Menu `Extensions -> Plugin Manager`
- Download, install and enable the **Yoonique Markdown content plugin** (see download section).
- If the editor doesn't work, it is most likely a jQuery conflict, in that case set `load jqery` to no in the plugin configuration.
- That should be it. If you have any questions, please post in the forum.

Zoo editor fix
--------------
If the editor is too narrow for your taste in Zoo. You can add the following lines in file `administrator/templates/khepri/css/general.css`.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/* YOONIQUE ZOO EDITOR FIX */
form#item-edit div.box-bottom div.col-left,
form#item-edit div.box-bottom div.col-right {
width: 100%;
float: none;
}
form#item-edit div.box-bottom div.col {
width: 100%;
float: none;
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And set the `width` to `100%` in the plugin configuration.
