  The question is not actually what I want to know.
  I enabled markdown.
  I see only Vitual/HTML.

  When I marked down with HTML page,
  The content converted to HTML.

  Question: Is markdown editor supposed to exist?

  Please, I said Please, don’t link what I already read.
  Answer what I asked or leave it open.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, you don’t indicate what it is you’ve already read, so can I assume it is this Support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/markdown/ and this one https://en.support.wordpress.com/markdown-quick-reference/ ?

  In order to use Markdown, it seems like it needs to be written in the WP Admin Post Editor. There won’t be a special “Markdown” tab in addition or in place of Visual/HTML.

  On my test site, I added Markdown to a test post in the Visual Editor and it published correctly. I then tried in the Text Editor and it also published correctly. (temporary screenshots)

  I am using Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 m (64-bit) on a Win10Pro PC.
