The Switch to Markdown

We're switching the formatting system we use on Atrium from Textile to Markdown. There are a few reason for this; Markdown is a better maintained project, it requires less knowledge of html, it's slightly more flexible, it's more widely used, some users like it better, etc... The important thing to know is that this is a good change.

A complete syntax reference is here.

Converting to Markdown with Drush

We've written a migration that will take any of the existing Atrium content and convert it from Textile format to Markdown. As with any automated conversion there will be some less than perfect conversions that will need to be corrected manually. Apologies in advance.

Here are the steps:

1. Backup your database!
2. Replace the old codebase with the new
3. Enable the "Markdown" module. You'll just need to hit submit at admin/build/modules
4. Run drush markdownify -- This can take quite some time on large sites.
5. Run drush cache clear
6. Delete the textile filter from the default format by running drush features revert atrium_intranet
