    Do I understand correctly that in order to write posts in Markdown, I need to

    1. download and activate the classic editor plugin
    2. enable Markdown in Jetpack
    3. turn on Enlighter Markdown support in Enlighter/Editing/Markdown
    4. turn on Markdown codeblocks in Enlighter/Extensions/Jetpack

    So what happens when the classic editor is no longer supported in 2022? Will there be another method for writing Markdown with Enlighter code blocks?

    Using WordPress 5.6.1, SemPress theme, Jetpack 9.4, Classic Editor 1.6, Enlighter 4.4.2

    It’s one possible way to use jetpack markdown but there are also other markdown editors out there.

    At the moment there is no markdown editor/plugin available which supports Enlighter natively.

    Yah, well, I just discovered (should’ve read the docs) that Enlighter doesn’t support Perl. So I’m off to find something else.

    contributions are welcome 😉
    but the generic highlight will mostly work fine
