Its WYSIWYG interface often fails to accurately reflect what will be displayed on the final page, making content editing a frustrating experience. Manipulating HTML elements within the editor is awkward, with tags either mysteriously disappearing or being added unexpectedly. For those who work with technical content, this is more than a minor inconvenience—it’s a nightmare. ### The Problem [](#the-problem) For technical bloggers and developers, managing embedded media (videos, images, code snippets) in TinyMCE is a constant challenge. The editor's lack of reliable control over HTML makes the content less portable and error-prone, forcing users to repeatedly fine-tune the formatting to get things right. The result? Wasted time and headaches, especially when consistency across pages is a priority. ### The Solution [](#the-solution) This Silverstripe module aims to replace the current WYSIWYG approach with a more programmer-friendly editor that uses **Markdown**. Markdown is widely appreciated for its simplicity and versatility, making it a natural choice for developers who want more control over the final output. ### Key Features [](#key-features) - **Markdown-Friendly Editor:** The module integrates a Markdown editor into Silverstripe, offering a much more streamlined and familiar experience for programmers and technical writers. - **Server-Side Rendering with Bootstrap 5 Support:** The Markdown input is rendered server-side into clean HTML, styled using **Bootstrap 5**. This ensures consistent and responsive presentation, without sacrificing the control and precision developers expect. - **Extensible and Customizable:** The module is designed to be extensible, allowing developers to tweak and expand upon the Markdown-to-HTML rendering process as needed. --- Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` #!/bin/bash composer require loveduckie/silverstripe-markdown ``` --- Related Projects ---------------- [](#related-projects) This module works best with the following projects - **Blog Tool** - A command-line tool written in Python for writing, managing, and publishing content written in Markdown syntax. - Support for multiple publishing platforms including [Silverstripe](https://www.silverstripe.org/), [Wordpress](https://wordpress.com/), [dev.to](https://dev.to/) and [Hashnode](http://hashnode.com/). - [Link](https://github.com/LoveDuckie/blog-tool) - **Silverstripe Image Uploader API** - Enables for image assets to be uploaded remotely and securely to an existing Silverstripe installation through an exposed API. - Accepts [Base64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64) and binary payloads. --- Thanks ------ [](#thanks) This project would not have been possible without the existence of another open-source project. - **silverstripers/markdown** - [Link](https://github.com/HelloBetterLTD/markdownfield) ### Health Score 20 — LowBetter than 14% of packages Maintenance38 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity4 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity27 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
