Hello there,

I've been away from WP for about 10 years so I have very little clues about the Gutemberg editor, what it can do, and if I need additional plugins.

My need : I want to write in WP just like I write in Github

• type raw markdown and it auto convert into HTML - real time preview would be nice
• type code blocks between 3 backticks (```php [...] ```)and have it syntax highlighted

I already got that typing some markdown gets auto converted (typing ## generates and H2), how do I get the code hilite?

Bonus if I can skip the gutemberg entirely, I find the interface atrocious, something closer to a simple textarea like we have in Github comments would be nicer.

I've check a few markdown plugins but they are either not doing what I need, or disabled because "security issues"

Thanks a lot !
