Mantis Parsedown

MantisParsedown - A MantisBT plugin for a native markup preview of the input fields.

Important

This plugin does not perform any text processing! Text formatting is handled entirely by other specialized MantisBT plugins, such as the built-in "MantisBT Formatting" plugin.

Presentation

The plugin adds a button bar above each input field that supports MantisBT Parsedown markup. The buttons allow you to toggle between edit and preview modes, as well as perform quick text formatting. When previewing, the user's text is sent directly to MantisBT and any installed custom markup plugins, which perform the actual text formatting. Undo (Ctrl+Z) is supported. The Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I and Ctrl+H hotkeys are used to make the entered text bold, italic and headline, respectively.
