Markdown Handler

This little script adds an Apache handler that lets you view Markdown files with a .md (or .mdown or .markdown) extension more prettily on your webserver.

It's based on a PHP Markdown implementation by Michel Fortin.

Installation

• Copy markdown.conf to your Apache user configuration folder -- In my case (running Apache2 on Ubuntu) that folder is /etc/apache2/conf.d/, or rename markdown.conf as .htaccess and place file with website root, if you prefer.
• Copy the .markdown directory into your webroot.

Now visit a .md file on your webserver; you should see it as properly styled HTML.

You will need PHP and mod_handler active for Apache servers.

MathJax does not need to be installed, as it is automatically loaded from the MathJax CDN.
