As a sidebar, the Parsedown plugin is noticeably faster :)

Selvin Ortiz' [Doxter plugin](https://github.com/selvinortiz/craft.doxter) has Parsedown Extra support. I haven't tested it myself or know if it can be used w/ Plaintext Fields, which is why I'm writing this comment and not adding an answer.

Thanks, Mats. I’m aware of Doxter but haven’t got my head round it entirely yet. I need to do so!

I released Smartdown 2 a few days back (warning: it contains breaking changes, so check the README). If that doesn't work for you, feel free to open an issue on the repo with some details of the problem.

Any robust plugins with Markdown Extra support?
# Any robust plugins with Markdown Extra support?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-01-01)

I've tried [@monooso](https://twitter.com/monooso)’s [Smartdown](https://github.com/monooso/smartdown.craft-plugin) plugin but can’t get it to run on my local install of Craft 2.5 under PHP 5.6.10.

I have content that parses fine as regular Markdown but just fails totally with the **smartdown** filter applied. I've read somewhere that Smartdown is a work in progress. (I'll ask Stephen about it.)

I note with interest a recent release from Pixel & Tonic for a Parsedown plugin: <https://github.com/pixelandtonic/Parsedown>.

But not yet found a plugin that executes either Markdown Extra or [Parsedown Extra](http://parsedown.org/extra/) on regular Plaintext fields.
