This plugin adds Markdown language support to content management systems, allowing writers and developers to compose posts and pages using simple, plain-text formatting. It is designed for users who prefer writing in Markdown, especially those familiar with the extended syntax used on GitHub.

• Local Markdown Processing: Uses the PHP-Markdown library to convert Markdown to HTML directly on your server. This method does not rely on external API calls, ensuring faster page loads and no request limits.
• GitHub Flavored Markdown Support: Includes features like fenced code blocks with language specification, task lists, and automatic URL linking, matching the writing experience found on GitHub.
• Shortcode Implementation: Provides simple [markdown] shortcodes to wrap and convert Markdown content within posts. This offers precise control over which parts of a page use Markdown formatting.
• Table of Contents Generation: Automatically creates a table of contents from the headings within your Markdown content, with options for left or right alignment to fit your layout.
• Customizable Code Output: Allows you to define the HTML template used for rendered code blocks. This makes it easy to integrate with syntax highlighting libraries like Google Code Prettify for better code presentation.
