Plugin README Parser

WordPress README files are formatted using a version of the Markdown language. This plugin can be used to convert these to XHTML and display on a post or page of your site.

It's ideal for plugin developers who wish to add instructions to their own site without having to duplicate effort.

Features include...

  • Convert your markdown README to XHTML and display in any post or page
  • Use shortcodes or a direct PHP function call
  • Responsive output of screenshots
  • Output is cached for maximum performance
  • Links automatically added to author and tag information
  • Download links added
  • Ability to specify which sections of the readme to exclude
  • Can also omit specific lines of text
  • Extra shortcodes available to display plugin banners and to return specific plugin data (download link, version number, etc)
  • Google Translation suppressed on code output

Plugin README Parser uses PHP Markdown Extra by Michel Fortin.
