Parsedown wrapper for WordPress with a live preview editor

This plugin serves two purposes:

• Replaces the classic WP editor with a Markdown editor with live preview (SimpleMDE)
• Forces all content to be rendered through Parsedown, converting saved Markdown content to HTML

This is a fork and a departure from the original friartuck6000/wp-parsedown.

The goal is to allow your site editors to use simplified, clean, familiar formatting.

An [image] shortcode is also included for optional use, as Markdown only allows for crude image insertion. See the docs folder for more information.
