A simple Markdown widget for Flarum 2.0, built as a widget for fof/forum-widgets-core. Same skeleton as linkrobins/html-widget, with a Markdown renderer in front of the body.
Adds one configurable Markdown widget to the FoF Forum Widgets placement editor. Admin sets:
- Title — optional, shown above the body
- Icon — FontAwesome class (e.g.
fab fa-markdown) - Markdown body — standard GitHub-flavored Markdown, rendered to HTML on the client
Drag and place it from the FoF Forum Widgets admin page like any other widget.
- Flarum 2.0 or later

In Flarum admin → Extensions, find Link Robins Markdown under the Forum Widgets category and enable it. Configure title/icon/body, then go to FoF Forum Widgets settings and place it where you want it.
Supports the full Markdown syntax that marked.js handles, including:
- Headings (
# H1,## H2, ...) - Bold (
**bold**) and italic (*italic*) - Lists (ordered and unordered)
- Links and images
- Code spans and fenced code blocks
- Blockquotes
- Tables (GFM)
- Horizontal rules
- Inline HTML (passes through unchanged)
The widget styles headings, lists, code, blockquotes, and tables to fit cleanly in any placement.
The body is rendered without sanitization — inline HTML in the Markdown source will run on the forum, including any <script> or <iframe> tags. Only enable this extension if you trust everyone with admin access.
