Hello, I'm using JCE with Markdown enabled and I've run into a few issues I am hoping you can help with.

I have my Editor Profile set to the Markdown option only and have it available for both Admin and Frontend. I have 'add support for Markdown' selected, and in Global Configuration I have it set to none : paragraph (though I have also tried none : Linebreak)

I've found that when creating a new article (frontend or admin) Markdown language does not work right away. I need to either hit return to start a new line and then can do Markdown like ## Headline, ` code `, etc.

Is there something I am missing in the settings to allow for Markdown to be initiated immediately?

I've also found that when I create a Blockquote section with > the element isn't escaped, and all new lines are being wrapped in the Blockquote tag.

If you are able to provide some guidance on how I may be able to fix these issues it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Robb

This is how the Markdown features in the editor work, on Enter for block level syntax, eg: ### Heading1 and when pressing the space bar for inline code, eg: **bold**

Markdown conversion does not occur as you type.

Yes, the blockquote becomes the parent wrapper tag. To exit any block element, using CTRL + ALT + Enter.
