GitHub Markdown on MediaWiki!?
==============================

[](#github-markdown-on-mediawiki)

This MediaWiki extension enables GitHub markdown on MediaWiki, using [https://github.com/erusev/parsedown](Parsedown)and MediaWiki's PreProcessor hook.

This extension is designed to make it easier for users to edit. While MediaWiki does have a robust Markdown language, many people are more comfortable with the Markdown used on GitHub/StackOverflow. Keeping track of two different types of Markdown can be annoying.

Compatibility
-------------

[](#compatibility)

This extension is compatible with MediaWiki style markdown. However, GitHub-style markdown will always take precedence as it is parsed first.
