WP Githuber Test

Guys, CommonMark is lovely but we desperately need footnotes as well. Footnotes are pretty widely supported in offline Markdown applications now.

CommonMark also does not support footnotes (much to the chagrin of Stackoverflow users).

MultiMarkdown is the implementation which supports footnotes. But MultiMarkdown does not support strikethrough with two tildes so I’m not recommending it unconditionally (GitHub do support strikethrough).

Discount(which is what I have enabled in Marked 2) supports both footnotes and strikethrough. Discount is the only Markdown version which has full satisfied me after much testing. You can see the nice list of Markdown extensions, Discount supports at the top of that page, including:

• footnotes
• tables
• multileveled bulleted lists
• fenced code blocks

You cover all of those except footnotes and one more essential feature: strikethrough.

Brett Tepstra of nvAlt and Marked 2 fame considers it worth his while to support Discount along with MultiMarkdown so I’m not the only one out there keen on Discount.

Clean recommendation: Add the excellent working footnotes function from Discount. Dont touch anything else or make any other changes.

According to John MacFarlane’s Babelmark 2, the most robust footnotes implementation is to be found in MultiMarkdown 5.1 and 6 (equally good). A simpler footnotes version passes Pandoc 1.19.2, PHP Markdown Extra 1.2.8, Maruku 0.7.3.beta1, MultiMarkdown 5.1.0 and 6, kramdown 1.2.0.

The Origin of Presto Player

For some time, there hasn’t been a lot of buzz around any new HTML5 video player plugins for WordPress on the scene. The established players like FV Player, Flowplayer, JW Player, VideoJS, Plyr have satisfied the needs for serving online video for publishers and businesses. While other players have come and gone, they’ve mostly been skins on top of existing players and marketing scams where the publishers sells as many copies as possible and then closes shop. Other pro players have just disappeared like Kaltura. Or in the case of JW Player or Flowplayer, the publisher no longer even sells an independent player, but only a player for their own video CDN.

Standard features in 2021 for a pro video player should include: * smooth playback * Encrypted HLS Stream * signed URL tokens * DRM Text * actions at least at the beginning or end of a video * either built-in stats or analytics integration As you can see, most of the pro features these days focus on security. Most video publishers are keen to prevent downloads of their original video material.
