## Descripció

Simple Markdown is a lightweight WordPress plugin that adds a custom Gutenberg block
for rendering Markdown content directly in your posts and pages. Perfect for developers,
writers, and anyone who prefers writing in Markdown format.

**NEW in 1.3.0: Professional Code Beautification**
 * Automatic code formatting 
and indentation for all supported languages * Professional copy buttons positioned
as elegant tabs outside code blocks * Language-aware beautification (JavaScript,
PHP, CSS, JSON, Bash) * Smart preservation of ASCII art and tree structures in copy-
only blocks

**Core Features:**

 * Custom Gutenberg block for Markdown content
 * Support for common Markdown syntax:
    - Headers (H1-H6)
    - Bold and italic text
    - Inline code and code blocks with copy functionality
    - Links
    - Unordered and ordered lists
    - Blockquotes
 * Professional code block rendering with:
    - Automatic beautification and proper indentation
    - One-click copy functionality with visual feedback
    - Language labels (JavaScript, PHP, CSS, JSON, Bash)
    - Tight line spacing optimized for code readability
 * Clean HTML output with semantic markup
 * Theme-resistant styling with robust CSS overrides
 * Easy to use interface

This is the core version with all essential markdown features plus professional 
code handling. A Pro version with syntax highlighting and other advanced features
will be available in the future.

**Supported Markdown Syntax:**

 * `# Header 1` through `###### Header 6`
 * `**bold text**` and `*italic text*`
 * `\`inline code\`` and code blocks with triple backticks
 * `[link text](URL)` for links

## Instal·lació

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the
    plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 3. In the Gutenberg editor, look for the “Markdown” block in the block inserter.
 4. Add your Markdown content and it will be rendered as HTML on the frontend.
 5. Use advanced code block syntax like `\`\`\`javascript copy` for beautified code
    with copy functionality.

## PMF

### Does this plugin support all Markdown features?

This plugin supports the most commonly used Markdown features including headers,
emphasis, links, lists, code blocks with beautification, and blockquotes. It’s designed
to be lightweight and fast while providing professional code handling.

### How does the code beautification work?

Code blocks with language tags (like `javascript copy) are automatically beautified
with proper indentation and formatting. Copy-only blocks (`copy) preserve exact 
formatting for ASCII art and tree structures.

### Can I use this with the Classic Editor?

This plugin is designed specifically for the Gutenberg block editor. For Classic
Editor support, consider using a different Markdown solution.

### Does this plugin require any external libraries?

No, Simple Markdown uses a custom, lightweight Markdown parser with built-in beautification
algorithms, requiring no external dependencies.

### What’s the difference between language+copy and copy-only blocks?

Language+copy (`javascript copy) beautifies code AND adds copy button. Copy-only(`
copy) adds copy button WITHOUT beautification, preserving ASCII art and special 
formatting.

### Will there be a Pro version?

Yes, a Pro version with syntax highlighting and advanced features is planned for
the future. The current version includes professional code beautification and copy
functionality.
