# Markdown filter

 * I frequently grab text stored in the database, apply the `the_content` filter
   then output it onto the page. It would be supreme if I could apply a filter that
   processes markdown in this way. Is there such a thing available when I have WP-
   Markdown installed? Or is it not usable in this way?
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Has anyone heard anything about this? I’d love to have a Markdown filter I can
   use from this plugin.
