## Сүрөттөө
Serve cached Markdown versions of WordPress URLs at .md.txt with YAML frontmatter.
No theme changes required.
When a visitor requests a URL ending in `.md.txt`, the plugin:
1. loads the page
HTML, 2. extracts the primary content (default selector: `main`), 3. converts HTML
to Markdown, 4. prepends YAML frontmatter (metadata), 5. returns the result with
short-term caching.
This keeps your normal site unchanged while exposing a clean Markdown output for
tooling, archiving, and AI-friendly documentation workflows.
Key features include:
* `.md.txt` endpoint for pages, posts, and public custom post types
* YAML frontmatter headers for structured metadata (title, slug, canonical URL,
generated time)
* HTML Markdown conversion via League HTML to Markdown
* Builder-noise cleanup for common wrappers (Divi, Elementor, block markup)
* Configurable selector (default: `main`)
* Cached output to reduce repeated conversions
* Optional “Force Update” from the admin panel for refreshing the Markdown cache.
#### LLMs.txt / AI Documentation Workflows
Many teams maintain a `/llms.txt` index file that links to “detail” Markdown pages
for fast AI ingestion and navigation.
This plugin can act as the “detail page generator”
by making each page available as Markdown via a stable URL.
Typical pattern:
– `/llms.txt` lists key pages (human curated) – each entry links
to the corresponding `.md.txt` URL for full content
(If you publish `/llms.txt`, confirm it only includes URLs you intend to expose
publicly.)
#### Example Output
plugin: “MTM HTML to Markdown”
source_url: “https://example.com/sample-page/” generated_at:“
2026-01-08T13:00:00-05:00”
slug: “sample-page”
Sample Page
(Body converted to Markdown…)
### Troubleshooting
#### I get a 404 on .md.txt URLs
Confirm pretty permalinks are enabled, then re-save Settings Permalinks to flush
rewrite rules.
If a caching layer/CDN is in front of the site, purge cache for
the `.md.txt` path.
#### Output is missing content
If your theme does not use a element, change the selector to match the real content
container (e.g., #content).

## Орнотуу
1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate via the WordPress Plugins screen.
3. Visit Settings MTM HTML to Markdown to adjust the content selector (default: `
main`).
4. Ensure “pretty permalinks” are enabled (Settings Permalinks).
5. Append `.md.txt` to any public URL: https://example.com/sample-page.md.txt
## FAQ.KG
### How do I generate the Markdown version of a page?
Simply append `.md.txt` to the end of any page, post, or custom post type URL.
Example: `https://example.com/sample-page.md.txt`
### How do I generate the Markdown version of the homepage?
For the homepage, you need to use the `home` slug in the URL.
Example: `https://
example.com/home.md.txt` Accessing `https://example.com/.md.txt` or `https://example.
com/index.md.txt` will not work unless configured otherwise.
### Can I select a specific part of the page for conversion?
Yes. Go to **Settings MTM HTML to Markdown** and enter the HTML tag or ID you want
to extract (default: `main`).
### Does this plugin work with page builders like Divi or Elementor?
In most cases, yes. The conversion uses the rendered HTML output and includes cleanup
to reduce common wrapper noise.
Highly dynamic or JS-rendered fragments may not
appear in server-generated HTML.
### How long is the Markdown cached?
By default, converted Markdown is cached for **15 minutes**.
To force a refresh of the Markdown cache for a page, append the following parameters
to the `.md.txt` URL: ?force_update=1&mtm_md_nonce=
For example: https://example.com/sample-page.md.txt?force_update=1&mtm_md_nonce=
If you are unsure about the nonce, you can use the **“Force Update Markdown” button**
in the plugin settings page. Enter the page slug, and it will open the correct URL
in a new tab with the nonce automatically included.
### Does this change my site’s normal pages or SEO?
Normal URLs remain unchanged. Markdown is only served when `.md.txt` is requested.
### Does the plugin track users or send data to external services?
No. The plugin does not send page content or visitor data to external servers.
