Research direction

Start with the linked checklist for Markdown in RSS and the WordPress plugin proof-of-concept described in the issue. The work is complete when HTML from a WordPress post is converted to Markdown and the corresponding feed item includes a source:markdown element, validated on the hosted test site.

Description

Back in July 2022, I wrote about supporting Markdown in RSS feeds. This is something FeedLand does, as a feed reader and editor. I would love to see all content editors support it as well as feed readers. One product in particular I'd like to support Markdown is Wordpress. The challenge is to figure out how to convert the HTML in a post to Markdown and then to get a source:markdown element in the corresponding item in the feed. Here's a checklist that explains how it works. If you have any interest in working on a plugin that does this please post something in this thread. I will host a WordPress site that runs the plugin as a proof-of-concept.
