SplitDown
SplitDown is a plugin that will convert the TinyMCE WordPress editor
into a Ghost-like Markdown editor. Once you have installed it, go to
Settings > Writing, and select the content type – Page, Post, etc.
You can also select some provided extensions. For example, selecting the
twitter.js extension allows you to embed clickable
@mention and
#hashtag. With
table.js you can create tables in the content.
So now, we get a nice and simple content editor, but if you think it necessary, you can still use the
Add Media button to embed Images or Videos easily. Splitdown also
has a distraction-free mode; just click on the
D next to the
Add Media button.
Final Thought
SplitDown is a great plugin for those who want to only be
focus on writing and little on anything else. One possible setback is that you need to
write web content with Markdown to use it.
