prettypress

Thank you! Lovely on the first creation of a post, but not great if you go in afterward to edit since it converts your markdown to HTML and doesn’t do a great job of converting it back to markdown to edit again. No, the star review doesn’t make any sense, but apparently you’re not allowed to give low star reviews!

PrettyPress is simple and very useful, thanks!

If you have non-technical users that can get into a muddle with HTML editing this is a great solution. In the article editing screen – click the PrettyPress button and the screen is transformed with a markdown editor and preview alongside. Great work! Maybe it could do with a simple Markdown reference as a popup. Note that if you use the WordPress image alignment controls to send the image to the left or right – making an edit with PrettyPress removes that formatting.
