The open source project has been dead for some time. Are you currently running it on your own server?

If you're hosting your site on Wikidot.com and want this feature, you should request it on the Feedback site where the development will see it.

Just a Bump. Well I would really like an option or Markdown formatting.

Well, it can be done by converting Markdown files into Wikidot syntax, and then uploading via the API…

I doubt it - as far as I know the only features that are going to be added to the open source version of Wikidot, are those that are already being used at Wikidot.com - and support for "Markdown" syntax isn't one of those features (not at the moment, anyway).

Markdown — see Wikipedia — is becoming really well supported, with loads of tools to convert to (and in some cases from) HTML, PDF, LaTeX, DocBook, groff etc etc. This makes it a great choice as a standard doc format, much easier to write than an XML dialect, and also a good choice as a simple wiki format.

You can see some of the available engines in action at
http://babelmark.bobtfish.net/?markdown=++*+foo%0D%0A%0D%0Abar ,
or have a look at the converter at http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/try

The PHP implementation is one of the most solid. Is there any interest in adding an option to use the portable Markdown syntax instead of the (probably more powerful) Wikidot syntax?
