## Beskrivelse

**Simple Export to Markdown** adds a small panel inside the WordPress block editor.
With one click, editors can download the current post or page as a `.md` file or
copy the generated Markdown to the clipboard.

The plugin uses the bundled Turndown library to convert serialized Gutenberg blocks
in the browser. It does not create server-side export files, make external API calls,
add REST/AJAX endpoints, or store exported content.

### Features

 * Export Gutenberg content directly to Markdown.
 * Download `.md` files or copy Markdown to the clipboard.
 * Auto-generated YAML front matter for `title`, `slug`, `date`, `categories`, and`
   tags`.
 * Uses the edited post state, including unsaved title, slug, date, category, tag,
   and block changes.
 * Loads only in the block editor for users with `edit_posts`.
 * PHP and JavaScript translations are loaded from the plugin language files.

### Requirements

 * WordPress 6.0 or newer.
 * PHP 7.4 or newer.
 * Active Gutenberg/block editor.

### License

This plugin is open-source software licensed under the GPLv2 or later.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install it through the WordPress
    Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
 3. Open any post or page in the block editor.
 4. Find the **Export to Markdown** panel in the editor sidebar.
 5. Click **Download .md** or **Copy Markdown**.

## FAQ

### Does this work in the Classic Editor?

No. The plugin is designed for the WordPress block editor.

### Does it save files on the server?

No. Conversion, download, and clipboard copy happen locally in the browser.

### Can it export custom blocks?

Custom blocks are serialized by WordPress before Turndown converts the resulting
HTML to Markdown.

### Why are the JavaScript translation files named with the script handle?

PHP translations use `simple-export-md-{locale}.mo`. JavaScript translations use
the `simple-export-md-{locale}-simple-export-md.json` pattern so translations work
for both the source and minified editor scripts.

### How should release builds be verified?

Run `npm ci`, `npm run build`, `npm test`, `npm audit --audit-level=low`, and `php-
l simple-export-md.php`. The minified editor script should only be committed as 
the Terser output from `npm run build`.

Works as expected. Simple and clean.Would be great to see a bulk action added for
exporting all posts at once as a zip file.
