Description

With the TYPO3 extension Parsedown Extra, you can use Markdown content directly in TYPO3 – simple, flexible, and without any detours. The extension is based on the proven PHP library Parsedown Extra and brings full Markdown support to your TYPO3 project, including tables, definition lists, footnotes, abbreviations, and much more. This lets you write content more efficiently while keeping a clean, readable structure – ideal for documentation, technical texts, or editorial content.

Parsedown Extra integrates seamlessly into TYPO3, allowing you to automatically render Markdown files or even use Markdown directly within backend text fields. This saves you from cumbersome formatting in rich text editors and gives you a clean, developer-friendly workflow instead. It’s also a perfect fit for automated documentation pages, for example when combined with Git repositories.

The extension is fully open source and available for free – ideal if you value transparent, maintainable, and update-safe solutions. Parsedown Extra brings Markdown to a professional TYPO3 level and turns simple syntax into powerful, clean HTML output – exactly what developers, agencies, and editors need to work more efficiently and with better structure.
