MarkDown and BBCode only

alan0209

Sorry for the newbie question but if I set the InputFormatter to 'Markdown' in my config file should I still be able to post html into the editor and have it render?

$Configuration`['Garden']['InputFormatter']                      = 'Markdown';

At the moment I can still post html code in and I would like to prevent this. I have editied the following as well but still seem able to post all html codes.

$Configuration['Garden']['Html']['SafeStyles']                  = TRUE;
$Configuration['Garden']['Html']['AllowedElements']             = "b";

I've tried looking for the answer in these discussions but just seem to be getting more confused Quite a few refer to a plugin called HtmLawed which isn't showing in my list of plugins but does appear in my plugins folder and in my config file as...

$Configuration['EnabledPlugins']['HtmLawed'] = 'HtmLawed';

Ultimately in addition to the MarkDown I would like to use the MathJaxCDN plugin which I think uses BBCode.

Thanks a lot

Markdown allows HTML, thats just the way markdown is.

You can use this plugin though:

Or html is valid mardown to be precise.

Mardown wasn't intended to replace html, simply provide convenient, and readable syntax.

BBcode is even less of a standard than Markdown.

Just becuase a plugin uses BBCode like syntax for shortcodes, doesn’t mean it requires BBCode formatter.

BBcode is also much harder to type and a pain to support.

Markdown will hopefully become a real standard in the future:

try it, before making assumptions.

not sure you read the plugin description.

Adds MathJax JavaScript to forum so that your users can use LaTeX in comments inline using [Math tag

tested in vanilla 2.1 using BBCode, Markdown and Html formatters.

Modification to initial code created by Prihandokorudi.
also uses cdn at http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js

a few examples:

[math]{x^2-1}[/math]

[math] y = \frac{1}{x^2-1} \hbox{ when $x \ne \pm 1$.}[/math]

[math \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)[/math]

Note: the formatted formula appears after you refresh the screen after posting comment.

Thanks for the comments guys. I will take a look at the markdown only plugin!

@peregrine I have been playing with your awesome plugin but when working through your steps on how to add it to the button to the buttonbar I saw you were adding

[math][/math]

and assumed this was bbcode (which I know nothing about so sorry for any confusion on my part there.

Thanks again.
