## Description

Markdown to Block Editor Importer lets you turn a Markdown document into a WordPress
post or page in a single click. Headings, paragraphs, lists, blockquotes, fenced
code, horizontal rules, images, and links are mapped to native blocks so the result
opens cleanly in the block editor.

This plugin does **not** add a top-level menu item. After activating, find it under:

 * **Tools  Markdown Importer** — upload a `.md` file and create a post/page.
 * **Settings  Markdown Importer** — set the default status (Draft or Publish automatically).

#### How to use

 1. (Optional) Go to **Settings  Markdown Importer** and choose the default status:
    Draft or Publish automatically.
 2. Go to **Tools  Markdown Importer**.
 3. Choose your Markdown file and (optionally) a title and content type. The status
    is pre-selected from your setting but can be overridden.
 4. Click **Import Markdown** — you are taken to the new post/page in the block editor.

#### Heading mapping

 * The first `#` (H1) becomes the post/page **title** automatically.
 * `##` becomes an H2 block; `###` becomes an H3 block.

#### Markdown to block mapping

 Markdown
 Block result

 `# Title` (first H1)
 Post/page **title** (not a body block)

 `## Section`
 H2 heading block

 `### Sub-section`
 H3 heading block

 Plain text
 Paragraph

 `- item` / `* item`
 Unordered list

 `1. item`
 Ordered list

 `> quote`
 Blockquote

 `\`\`\` code \``` `
 Code block

 `---` / `***`
 Separator

 `[text](url)`
 Link

 `![alt](image.png)`
 Image

 `**bold**`, `*italic*`, `\`code\``, `~~strike~~`
 Inline formatting

#### Troubleshooting

 * **Can’t see the menu item** — it’s a submenu: look under **Tools  Markdown Importer**,
   not the top level. Confirm the plugin is still Active (WordPress auto-deactivates
   crashing plugins).
 * **File rejected** — only `.md`/`.markdown`, under 1 MB (filter `mdgi_max_upload_bytes`).
 * **Wrong title** — a typed title wins; else the first `#` heading; else the file
   name.

## FAQ

### Does it require the block editor?

Yes. Content is produced in the block-editor block format and is best edited in 
the block editor.

### Are my uploads stored?

No. Files are read from the temporary upload location and converted in memory. The
plugin stores no files or options of its own.
