ReturnGIS Markdown View for AI Agents

ReturnGIS Markdown View for AI Agents adds a small button to singular posts and pages so visitors, crawlers, and AI agents can open a clean Markdown version of the content.

The same Markdown output is also available programmatically by appending ?format=markdown to a post or page URL.

The generated Markdown includes YAML frontmatter with useful metadata and converts common HTML elements into Markdown-friendly output.

Features include:

• Visible “View as Markdown” button on posts and pages
• ?format=markdown endpoint for agents and automation tools
• YAML frontmatter with title, author, date, categories, tags, and URL
• HTML-to-Markdown conversion for headings, lists, links, images, code blocks, blockquotes, and tables
• Cached output using WordPress transients for faster repeat requests
• Lightweight front-end integration with no external services required

Typical use cases:

• AI agents that need a stable Markdown representation of a post
• internal automation or export workflows that consume article content
• debugging or reviewing how WordPress content is exposed outside the theme layer
