[Plugin: Markdown for P2] Cannot disable markdown parsing

  • Something very weird is happening on my P2 install after having tried this plugin.

    I find myself unable to turn off markdown parsing!

    What I did is: I tried both “Markdown on Save” and “Markdown for P2”, to see which one worked better for me.

    Then suddenly, I noticed that I could not see the raw markdown version anymore when editing. After hitting “publish”, I would always see the full HTML, even in the edit window.

    This worried me, so I disabled and deleted both extensions: this didn’t help, any markdown is still auto-converted into html.

    In addition to that, the syntax isn’t transformed correctly.

    # Something like this should give a H1 header

    but it’s transformed into:

    <ol>
<li>an ordered list</li>
</ol>

    So I’m not sure if the problem is directly related with your plugin, or with “Markdown on Save”, but basically my usage of markdown is pretty much broken now ??

    To give some more detail:

    If I re-install and activate your plugin, everything is working fine, markdown gets parsed correctly (the above code becomes H1), and during editing I can see the raw markdown syntax.

    As soon as I disable your plugin, I have the problem described above. Pretty weird. But at least the plugin works…

    Ok, now I finally understand where the confusion came from. My impression that the plugin continued to parse my posts even after being disabled came from P2 itself – this theme has a few markdown-like parsing functions built-in!

    Here is the official information:

    So the # in the beginning of the line being transformed into a numbered list is the normal way of P2 parsing.
