Documentation: Markdown Alternate

Configuration

The plugin's settings control what information appears in the Markdown version of your articles and categories. Find them under System > Manage > Plugins > System - Joomill Markdown Alternate.

Show Category Include the article's category name and link in the frontmatter.
Show Tags Include the article's tags and their links in the frontmatter.
Show Author Include the author's name in the frontmatter.
Show Date Include the article's creation date in the frontmatter.
Show Description Include the article's or category's meta description in the frontmatter, if one is set.
Show Images Include the article's or category's image as a frontmatter field and, for articles, as the first image in the body.
Show Custom Fields Add a "Custom Fields" section at the end of the article with any custom fields that have a value.
Show Alternate Link Add a link to the Markdown version in the page's HTML head, so tools that look for it can find it automatically.
Alternate URL Format How the alternate link is built when "Show Alternate Link" is on: as a .md extension (e.g. /page.md) or as a query parameter (e.g. /page?output=markdown).
