Postie and support for Markdown

    After WordPress 5.0 and the integration of the Gutenberg editor Markdown plugins have changed quite a bit.

    Can Postie support the Jetpack Markdown module both for the classic editor and the Markdown block?
    There are some Markdown plugins out there, but many changes the entire behaviour of the WordPress editor. The Jetpack Markdown module allows the user to create one block, and use Markdown for multiple paragraphs etc. with no limits.

    I saw an older thread where someone recommended Editors Kit, and this plugin does not work with Postie as it was mentioned at that time.
    How can I help combining Jetpack Markdown and Postie?

    Postie creates classic posts as WordPress does not have a PHP option for converting HTML (what comes in the email) to blocks.

    I have not personally tested Jetpack Markdown. Go ahead and give it a try.

    Ok, now I have done some more testing:

    Postie will work with Markdown if the following HTML can be removed:

    
<div class="postie-post">Here goes the message composed in Markdown</div>

    If the code above gets removed the Markdown will be rendered just fine.

    Should I try to open an issue about creating blocks via PHP? That might be good if the classic editor is unsupported at some point. I still think there is a need for a plugin like Postie, and therefor I will be happy to open an issue on Github if you are interested.

    I’ll look into adding an option to remove the div.
