How To Add Markdown Plugin

    On my own hosted WordPress blogs, I always install the smartypants plugin. Call me old-fashioned, but I like to write either markdown or textile. I don’t much care for the WYSIWYG editor. Is there any way to install a markdown or a textile converter in a wordpress.com hosted blog?

    Note: I *have* searched for this and the only thread I saw that seemed to answer it was two years old, truncated, locked, and suggested that support for markdown was dropped in an earlier version of WordPress. If I’m missing an obvious place to look, please point me to it.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    The answer is “no”. There is not FTP access to wordpress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins.

    You can use the HTML editor here, or you can write in an offline markup editor or plain text editor if you wish and the copy and paste into the HTML tab in the wordpress editor. The one thing you will notice though is that some of the HTML tags will be hidden after you paste into the wordpress editor and save. I suspect WP does this to keep from overwhelming users that aren’t used to looking at all the markup.
