Hi Vincent,
I deduced (possibly wrongly) that from the fact that there's only a
Markdown Syntax 8.3 extension available
This is an extension and it has its own release lifecycle. It used to be bundled in XWiki
core which is why it has a “high” version number. But it’s been extracted out of it
several months ago now and has its own life.
, and the extension manager was
not able to install said extension at all.
I’ve tested it and it worked fine for me. Could you paste the error you get?
When I downloaded it and placed the jar into
WEB-INF/libs, the container
would not even start correctly, since it was missing the
org/xwiki/contrib/rendering/markdown10/internal/parser/AbstractMarkdownStreamParser
- after building and installing the 8.3 extension of markdown 1.1, there
was a missing pegdown dependency and so on.
You should not install extensions manually because that’s just too hard. You’d need to
manually copy all the dependent JARs. Using the Extension Manager is really the
recommended way.
And since github seems to have a 8.4-SNAPSHOT-Tag on
the markdown
parser, I assumed that so far, 8.4 has no support for it.
Can you maybe tell me how to install it? Or is that because I already
set markdown/1.1 as possible renderer in xwiki.properties?
The instructions to install it are on the extension page:

Thanks
