In our case there is only one location in Manage Locations: Main Nav, which appears as the Menu Name in Edit Menus. I guess that’s an “affirmative.”

I installed wp-markdown-editor but WordPress returned a blank white screen as soon as I activated it. I had to delete it via FTP to restore functionality to the site. Jetpack, developed by Automattic, offers Markdown support, and it works as advertised.

I’ve now turned off the Visual Editor in my profile settings to stop the two tabs (HTML and Visual) from appearing at all, which circumvents the issue for me, but not solves it.
Markdown text still can be garbled by another Editor switching the editing view from HTML to Visual and then back again to HTML, which takes up back to the top of this thread.

So, can you put in a request to the core team or whoever programs WordPress, that this deficiency should be fixed so that Markdown text is retained through changes of view in the editing window, or do I have to send this request somewhere else?

Thanks for that information, Andrew. It seems that we are both guessing at what the programmers think “should” happen, which means that the user interface is not properly thought out and users are getting confused and frustrated.

What I’m trying to do here is to put in a request to the core team or whoever programs WordPress, that this deficiency should be fixed so that Markdown text is retained through changes of view in the editing window. To me, that’s the way it should be.

Can you do this, or do I have to send this somewhere else?

Yes. The behaviour is consistent — is this how it’s supposed to be?
