Re-useable Code Additional Files Translations Is in Beta Stage
This mod introduces support for "Markdown" syntax in vBulletin posts. Markdown is an alternative to BB Code and HTML. In some situations it may be preferable to use Markdown when formatting posts instead of BB Code.
This mod allows you to specify one or more forums on your site which will be Markdown enabled.
Please note: In a Markdown Enabled forum BB Code will not work so don't turn a forum with existing posts into a Markdown forum- you'd be best off making a new forum for this mod.
This is a bold test of the **Markdown Mod**. This is an _italics_ test.
This is a code test.
Keep 4 spaces before a line
to turn it into a code line. code test
Spaces are preserved in code as well as a fixed font. Test over.

`these funny backward apostrophe characters to the left of the 1 key also make code lines`
1. This is an
2. Ordered List
3. Just add numbers
* this is an
* un-ordered list
See the screenshot of how this will turn into properly formatted HTML with the mod enabled.
In addition to enabling selected forums for Markdown support the mod can at your option disable the advanced editor controls (like the BB Code toolbars) in the editors since that format will not work with Markdown anyway.

BOP, I'm curious as to the practical application of another markup language. Is it capable of doing things that BB Code cannot? Maybe there is a significant amount of Markdown content that I'm not aware of.

by the way good work...
That is a more proper way, but both will work if you use the http://. I guess the <url> is a shortcut or something.

I have no great love for "markdown" - I made this mod per a request- someone who had a forum for programmers I believe wanted markdown support. It's just a matter a preference IMO, I always found myself typing _like this_ or *this* to add emphasis anyway, it's nice to see those really many something in a language like Markdown.
The popular site http://stackoverflow.com uses Markdown in all their "forums." Now I lnow how to use it.
