Plugin remote markdown

plg_content_remotemarkdown

Joomla plugin displaying remote markdown files linked in an article.

This Joomla! plugin will replace a 'link marker' to a *.md file in an article. with text created by the markdown file conversion to html. The 'link marker' can be written into any artikle in the form {remotemarkdown:http://.../...md}

The idea is to create user documentation in markdown on github and show it on a joomla web site.

The plugin uses the parsedown project https://github.com/erusev/parsedown to convert the *.md file (LICENSE file see folder)
