Description

Hi folks,

Maybe I searched badly but I didn't find markdown plugin in the geany-plugins package. Is there a reason ?

After some hunting, the markdown plugin requires Webkit1 - Us along with other distros like Fedora and Debian are activity trying to remove Webkit1 from our repos - see T4880. However, the good news is there is a pull request open to port the markdown plugin to Webkit2. Once the pull request is merged and a new stable release is tagged we can add support for it. In the meantime there is plenty of other software that support markdown editing such as ghostwriter.

Just an update, the pull request was merged. I now see no reason to not add support for this once a new stable release of geany-plugins is tagged.
