## Maelezo

[Markdown syntax](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax) allows you
to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format.

Markdown for WordPress and bbPress (Markdown-WPBB) is based on the famed PHP Markdown
Extra by [Michel Fortin](http://www.michelf.com/projects/php-markdown/), in turn
based on the original Perl version by [John Gruber](http://www.daringfireball.net/).
All I did was make the same package work with bbPress too. ^^

## Installation

#### WordPress

PHP Markdown works with WordPress, version 1.2 or later. PHP Markdown is already
bundled with WordPress. Still, you can find here the latest version that may be 
newer than the latest WordPress version.

 1. To use Markdown-WPBB with WordPress, place the “markdown.php” file in the “plugins”
    folder.
     This folder is located inside “wp-content” at the root of your site:
 2.     ```
        (site home)/wp-content/plugins/
        ```
    
 3. Activate the plugin with the administrative interface of WordPress. In the “Plugins”
    section
     you will now find “Markdown for WordPress and bbPress.” To activate the
    plugin, click on the “Activate” button on the same line as Markdown. Your entries
    will now be formatted with Markdown.
 4. To post Markdown content, you’ll first have to disable the “visual” editor in the
    User
     section of WordPress.

You can configure Markdown-WPBB to not apply to the comments on your WordPress weblog.
See the “FAQ” section below.

#### bbPress

 1. To use Markdown-WPBB with bbPress, place the “markdown.php” file in the “plugins”
    folder.
     This folder is located inside “wp-content” at the root of your site:
 2.     ```
        (site home)/my-plugins/
        ```
    
 3. If you don’t have a `/my-plugins/` directory in your bbPress installaltion, create
    it on the
     root level of your bbPress installation.
 4. Activate the plugin with the administrative interface of bbPress. Find “Markdown
    for
     WordPress and bbPress” on the “Plugins” screen and hit “Activate.”
