4 This plugin lets ikwiki convert files with names ending in ".mdwn" to html.
5 It uses the [[ikiwiki/markdown]] minimal markup language.
7 This is the standard markup language used by ikiwiki, although some others
8 are also available in other plugins.
10 There are several implementations of markdown support that can be used by
11 this plugin. The [original version of
12 markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) can be used, or the
13 [[!cpan Text::Markdown]] perl module.
15 [[!cpan Text::Markdown]] also includes a markdown variant called
16 [multimarkdown](http://fletcherpenney.net/MultiMarkdown/), which supports
17 tables, footnotes, and other new features. Multimarkdown is not enabled by
18 default, but can be turned on via the `multimarkdown` option in the setup
19 file. Note that multimarkdown's metadata and wikilinks features are
20 disabled when it's used with ikiwiki.
