Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Simple Export to Markdown

No. The plugin is designed for the WordPress block editor.

No. Conversion, download, and clipboard copy happen locally in the browser.

Custom blocks are serialized by WordPress before Turndown converts the resulting HTML to Markdown. Blocks without saved HTML, including synced pattern references, cannot be fully exported. The panel lists omitted blocks in a persistent warning. Server rendering and reference expansion are not performed, and warnings are not added to the Markdown content.

Rectangular tables without merged cells export as GFM. If there is no header, an empty header is added and all data rows are preserved. Tables with merged cells, captions, nested tables or code blocks retain sanitized HTML.

PHP translations use simple-export-md-{locale}.mo. JavaScript translations use the simple-export-md-{locale}-simple-export-md.json pattern so translations work for both the source and minified editor scripts.

Run npm ci, npm run build, npm test, npm audit --audit-level=low, and php -l simple-export-md.php. The minified editor script should only be committed as the Terser output from npm run build.
