Create posts using markdown?

Can I replace the WYSIWYG editor with a markdown editor? If so, what plugin can I use?

You can use Markdown on Save, by Mark Jaquith.

Allows you to compose content in Markdown on a per-item basis. The markdown version is stored separately, so you can deactivate this plugin any time.


Not mentioned is WP-Markdown or Markdown on Save Improved.

I did look at Markdown for WordPress and BBPress but apparently it hasn't been updated since 2008 and never went beyond version 1.0.


I'm not sure about the version of Markdown, but here's some plugins

I use markdown-for-wordpress-and-bbpress to get wordpress to render posts and comments in markdown format.

For editors, I prefer markdown-quicktags. It has a bunch of auto-complete features, and seems to be the most actively updated markdown editor plugin. You might also try wmd-admin for the wmd editor (Same markdown editor as the stackexchange) or wp-markitup (not markdown specific)
