Using markdown in an image description

[opalepatrick]

Hi there, this was addressed way back in 

I am not able to do this either. It is in a legacy site. I updated to the latest wire version 2.8.62, tried the ideas in the other post, but still cannot get markdown to behave in this field. Any ideas as to how this can be done?

you can just call the module, and format the description, in your template file, at least this is how it works for me:

$md = $modules->get("TextformatterMarkdownExtra");
$desc = $image->desc;
$md ->format($desc);

It's working for me.

Thank you Macrura and Robin S - I have finally got it working after trying both methods (and a few others) - in the end, it was a rookie error in that I needed to logout and back into admin to make the changes to the latest legacy pw version. Then it worked as per Robin S - which is where I started ?
