FAQ

How do I use this plugin?

This plugin supports three features of markdown all of which can be applied to the post content:

• Single asterisks (*) wrapped around a word for emphasis.
• Double asterisks (**) wrapped around a word for bold.
• Back ticks (`) wrapped around a word for code.

Note that a previous verion did have support for comments, but that has been removed. See the ChangeLog for more information as to why.

What about updates?

This plugin uses the GitHub Updater, so if you have that plugin installed in your WordPress installation, then you should receive updates whenever updates are released.
