## Description

> “Markdeep is ideal for design documents, specifications, README files, code documentation,
> lab reports, blogs, and technical web pages. Because the source is plain text,
> Markdeep works well with software development toolchains.”
>  — http://casual-effects.

> “Markdeep is a text formatting syntax that extends Markdown, and a JavaScript 
> program for making it work in browsers. The two most powerful features are its
> ability to run in any web browser on the client side and the inclusion of diagrams.”

This plugin adds a gutenberg block supporting the [markdeep](http://casual-effects.com/markdeep/)
language. The editor shows both a plaintext
 area for composing the text, and a 
preview area to display the rendered block.

### MathJax & CDN

In order to support [MathJax](https://www.mathjax.org/) features, the MathJax library
is loaded from an external [CDN (cdnjs/cloudflare)](https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/).

> MathJax.org does not collect, maintain, distribute, purchase, or sell personal
> data of any kind, and uses no cookies or other tracking
>  or advertising techniques.
> Likewise, the MathJax software does not track you, and uses local storage only
> to maintain your preferences as set by the MathJax contextual menu.
> — https://www.mathjax.org/#privacy-statement

If you do not change the CDN you will be subject to cloudflare’s [terms](https://www.cloudflare.com/website-terms/)&
[privacy policy](https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/).

This CDN can be changed with a one-line script. (Alternately, use the WordPress 
plugin file editor to uncomment a similar line in
 markdeep-block.php). _In the 
future this should be an exposed configuration option._

To override the CDN use:

    ```
    `php
    ```

// Markdeep currently uses version 2.7.6
 add_filter( ‘markdeepblock_mathjax_url’,
fn($u) => ‘https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@2.7.6/unpacked/MathJax.js?config
=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML’ ); `

### Planned features

 * UI to configure CDN for JS resources (Markdeep, MathJax).
 * Configurable style per block.
 * Drop-down style selection of styles (globally & per-block).
 * Get MathJax commands working in editor. _(MathJax currently works in posts)._
 * Markdeep specific LaTeX/MathJax macros. (e.g. θ₀, θ₁, etc.)
 * Configurable MathJax macros.
 * Optional Table of Contents (currently suppressed)

### Logo

The logo is derived from [Dustin Curtis’s](https://dustincurtis.com) https://github.
com/dcurtis/markdown-mark.
