Hi all. I don't see the markdown plugin in my plugin list in Geany 2.0 on my macOS (Apple M1). There is no installation option for my OS on this page.
I tried doing it via brew install geany-plugins, but there is no such scheme there
Can you advise me on what I require for installation?

The macos installer is available here and includes all plugins that build on macos. That bundle includes all plugins that are compatible with the target system.

So is the markdown plugin not compatible with macOS?

Possibly one of its dependencies is not available, the plugin itself probably compiles on macos @techee?

Edit: to be clear I mean the plugin would compile if the right version of the dependency's header and dev files were available, the plugin is just C after all.

If I remember correctly, the markdown plugin has a webkit dependency which I'd have to build during the bundle creation and this would pretty much double the build time. Also, I'd like to avoid dependencies that have possible security-related bugs in them so I don't have to recompile Geany every time there's some vulnerability in webkit.

And the Webkit-gtk build instructions include this gem "The MacOS build is not actively maintained to the same standards than the Linux one. So your mileage may vary." ... great!!

Security issues, Never!! [end sarcasm]
