Remote Markdown For WordPress

This plugin adds a shortcode that allows to include contents in your posts and pages from a remote markdown-formatted file. It supports Github Flavored Markdown and is meant to synchronize your app documentation from your GitHub or Bitbucket repo to your website, without having the need to update both.

Current stable version: 1.1

Usage

[remote-markdown refresh="60" crayon="1"]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andrezrv/wp-remote-markdown/master/README.md[/remote-markdown]

Use crayon="1" to activate compatibility with the Crayon Syntax Highlighter plugin, if you have it installed.

Once loaded for the first time, a transient will be created with the expiration (in seconds) specified in the refresh property. That will prevent your site from doing a lot of unnecessary requests while the remote file is not being updated. A value of zero, or not using the parameter, will prevent the creation of the transient.

Installation

1. Clone with git clone git@github.com:andrezrv/wp-remote-markdown.git or download and unzip wp-remote-markdown.zip into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the "Plugins" menu in WordPress.
