Carve Markup

Carve Markup is a WordPress plugin designed to enable the use of the Carve markup language, which is described as a post-Djot, post-Markdown markup language, within WordPress sites. The plugin renders Carve markup to HTML using the markup-carve/carve-php engine, allowing content creators to write posts, pages, and comments in Carve markup directly inside WordPress. The plugin provides several features to enhance the writing and editing experience. It includes a per-post "Render as Carve" mode, a [carve] shortcode, and a Gutenberg block that offers a visual (WYSIWYG) editor. The editor supports multiple tabs including Write, Split, Visual, and Preview, letting users edit content visually or in source mode. Changes are round-tripped to canonical Carve markup, and users are notified if visual edits would alter the rendered output. An instant in-browser preview is available via the Carve JS engine, eliminating the need for server round-trips. Carve Markup supports pasting or importing content from Markdown, Djot, BBCode, or HTML formats, converting them to Carve markup in place. It also allows exporting any post as a .carve file. Additional features include content profiles, table of contents generation, heading permalinks, smart quotes, support for Mermaid diagrams, and WP-CLI migration functionality. The plugin also offers mapping of typed frontmatter (such as YAML or JavaScript) to meta fields, and provides a REST API. This tool is intended for WordPress users who want to write and manage content using the Carve markup language, taking advantage of advanced editing and import/export capabilities. It is delivered as a plugin for the WordPress platform. Information about pricing or licensing is not specified in the available evidence.
