Markdown Block Editor adds a dedicated Markdown block for the native WordPress block editor.

With this plugin, you can:

  • Write or paste Markdown directly into a textarea inside the editor.
  • Import a local `.md` or `.markdown` file to replace the current block content.
  • Switch between Edit and Preview modes while building content.
  • Render Markdown as HTML on the frontend with server-side output.
  • Add multiple Markdown blocks to the same post or page.
  • Generate an automatic table of contents from your Markdown headings.
  • Upgrade fenced code blocks with language labels and one-click copy buttons.

The block uses a server-side renderer so the editor preview closely matches frontend output.
