Is there a way to use the stackexchange syntax for posts, commits comments, wiki... in redmine

Question

Is there a module or a simple way to enable the syntax from stackexchange in redmine?

Answer 1

Using the latest version of redmine (2.2.2) I found that none of the plugins on the website worked.

I finally found a fork of redmine_markdown_extra_formatter which works with the current version of redmine.

For reference I tried:

• redmine_markdown_formatter
• redmine_markdown_extra_formatter
• redmine_redcarpet_formatter
• chiliproject_markdown_formatter
• redmine_ultraviolet

Answer 2

Yes, there is a Markdown formatter plugin for redmine. It probably doesn't match SE's markdown flavour exactly, but it'll put you in the right direction.
