## Description

**SEOries Markdown Generator** is an independent WordPress plugin developed by **
Mahmut Orkun Köksalan**, built to provide clean, structured Markdown representations
of WordPress content for AI systems, Large Language Models (LLMs), and automated
markdown consumers.

### Key Capabilities & Architectural Principles

 * **Canonical URL Negotiation**: Delivers `text/markdown` directly over canonical
   URLs via standard HTTP `Accept: text/markdown` content negotiation. Normal visitors
   and web browsers continue receiving standard HTML.
 * **Public .md Policy**: Direct public `.md` URLs (e.g. `/post-slug.md`) are disabled
   by default and return 404 Not Found to prevent URL fragmentation and preserve
   canonical SEO integrity.
 * **AI Bot Automatic Delivery**: Optional automated Markdown delivery for recognized
   AI search indexers and user-action bots (OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, Claude-
   SearchBot, Claude-User, PerplexityBot, Perplexity-User) and training bots (GPTBot,
   ClaudeBot).
 * **Search Engine Protection**: Major search engine crawlers (Googlebot, Bingbot,
   YandexBot) always receive standard HTML, ensuring zero interference with traditional
   search indexation.
 * **Access Control & Privacy**: Drafts, pending reviews, private posts, trashed
   items, and password-protected content are strictly excluded from public Markdown
   delivery.
 * **Robots Directives & Noindex**: Robots meta directives and headers are not access
   control mechanisms. Directives such as `noindex` do not prevent Markdown delivery;
   instead, robots directives are preserved and forwarded in the Markdown response
   headers (`X-Robots-Tag`) where applicable.
 * **User-Agent Advisory**: User-Agent matching is an ergonomic content-representation
   selector, not a security boundary or authentication mechanism.
 * **DOM-Driven Content Extraction**: Generic HTML parsing using native DOM & XPath,
   extracting clean semantic content without hard-coded theme or page-builder dependencies.
 * **Safe CSS Selectors**: Configure global, post-type, per-post (meta box), and
   archive-level main content and excluded selectors with built-in fail-safe protection.
 * **High-Performance Caching**: Integrates with WordPress Object Cache API (Redis/
   Memcached) with automatic Transients fallback, conditional HTTP (ETag / 304 Not
   Modified), and event-driven cache invalidation.
 * **Buffer-Isolated Raw Delivery**: Unified output buffer management ensuring newlines,
   frontmatter, and code fences are never corrupted by third-party HTML minifiers
   or theme output filters.
 * **Admin Preview & Download**: Authorized post editors can preview generated Markdown,
   inspect live extraction diagnostics, copy to clipboard, or download `.md` files
   directly from the WordPress editor.
 * **Official Documentation**: Comprehensive guides, bot user-agent tables, and 
   integration tutorials are available at https://ai-markdown.seories.com/docs/

## Installation

 1. Upload the `seories-markdown-generator` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Configure your preferences under **Settings > SEOries Markdown Generator**.
 4. Test delivery by requesting any published post or archive with `Accept: text/markdown`.

## FAQ

### Where can I find documentation and technical guides?

Comprehensive technical documentation, AI crawler reference tables, and setup guides
are available at https://ai-markdown.seories.com/docs/ . Official product information
is available at https://ai-markdown.seories.com/ .

### Who is the author of this plugin?

SEOries Markdown Generator is developed by Mahmut Orkun Köksalan.

### How do I request Markdown format for a post or page?

Send an HTTP GET request to the canonical URL of any published post with the `Accept:
text/markdown` header:
 curl -i -H “Accept: text/markdown” https://example.com/my-
post/

### Why are public .md URLs returning 404 Not Found?

The plugin adheres to modern Web architecture and SEO best practices by serving 
alternative content representations from the canonical URL via HTTP Content Negotiation.
Standalone `.md` endpoints are disabled by default to prevent duplicate content 
indexing.

### Are draft or password-protected posts accessible via Markdown?

No. Only published, publicly viewable, non-password-protected content can be delivered
as public Markdown.

### How does the plugin handle robots and noindex directives?

Robots directives are presentation indexing metadata, not access control. The plugin
preserves detected robots rules (such as `noindex` or `noarchive`) and sends them
as `X-Robots-Tag` HTTP response headers in the Markdown response so consumers and
crawlers receive consistent indexing guidance.

### Can I exclude specific banners, widgets, or sidebars from the Markdown output?

Yes. Navigate to **Settings > SEOries Markdown Generator > Selector & Kurallar**
to define global, post-type-specific, or archive-specific CSS selectors to strip(
e.g. `.site-banner`, `#sidebar`, `.author-bio`).

### How does caching and invalidation work?

Markdown responses are cached using the WordPress Object Cache (if available) or
Transients API. When content is published, updated, trashed, or settings change,
the cache generation key is automatically incremented.

### How do I translate the plugin into other languages?

Translations for official WordPress.org releases are managed via translate.wordpress.
org. For manual zip distributions, place compiled translation files (.po / .mo) 
inside the plugin’s `languages/` directory or `wp-content/languages/plugins/` using
the standard naming format `seories-markdown-generator-{locale}.mo` (e.g. `seories-
markdown-generator-tr_TR.mo`). A complete translation template is provided at `languages/
seories-markdown-generator.pot`.
