Carve Markup

Carve is a post-Djot, post-Markdown markup language. This plugin renders Carve to HTML in WordPress, powered by the markup-carve/carve-php engine.

Features: per-post “Render as Carve” mode, a [carve] shortcode, a Gutenberg block with a visual (WYSIWYG) editor, comment support, content profiles, table of contents, heading permalinks, smart quotes, Mermaid, and WP-CLI migration.

Beyond a typical markup plugin:

• Visual editor with Write / Split / Visual / Preview tabs. Edit visually or in source; every change round-trips to canonical Carve, and you are only warned when visual editing would change the rendered output.
• Instant in-browser preview using the Carve JS engine (no server round-trip).
• Paste or import Markdown, Djot, BBCode or HTML and convert to Carve in place; export any post as a .carve file.
• Map typed frontmatter (yaml/json/toml) to excerpt, SEO and post meta.
• Cache rendered HTML at save time; render via REST for headless WordPress.
