Not sure how this works exactly....

Hi!

Thanks for the plugin first of all. Just to clarify, is this supposed to show markdown output when I write and save a comment in markdown?

The preview function works fine, but when I save the comment it just displays raw markdown input.

Thanks!

Bump. I am also not sure how this works. It becomes enabled and renders the code in a split-window while you write. Nifty! But when you save, the code is just printed into the post, it is not rendered. Perhaps a markdown-processing plugin also needs to be installed. Like this one: http://vanillaforums.org/addon/521-markdown
edit1: By looking at the discussion of that plugin, it seems markdown processing is now a native function, and can be enabled/disabled in the config file. This can be added to the config: $Configuration['Garden']['InputFormatter'] = 'Markdown';

edit2: Adding markdown input formatting to the config.php made the forum interpret the EpicEditor's work! Now I have to figure out if I really like it.
