Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Within your blog post or page, write a insert the similar snippet below: Example: [third source="markdown" id="FULLURL/README.md" section=""] Your URL (ID) should be a full URL to your .md file on the remote server. There are several other ways to include remote contents. Each unique content is processed by its own processor. View Source Codes for each processors.
The plugin brings your contents using the defined Source’s ID and Section. The parameters (source, id, section) are a stable list of names proposed to long term support the future development. When we add new Content Processes, they are less likely to change.
Yes, but not necessarily. The usage is very tricky. You can remotely host your .md files and embed them in your blogs. In some cases, you may consider editing this plugin and adding your own methods.
We never thought of that downtime. In new release, a cache is enabled.
By the nature of the product, no. However, You can consider source="markdown" and source="file" as a completed codes. Any other implementation may require you to modify your plugin to suit it for yourself.
As a matter of rule, do not embed something that you do not trust at all. Implementation should be designed NOT to reveal API access details or anything else. Limit the access only to the standard parameters only. Other private details should be defined within the content processor class files. It does NOT execute PHP scripts from remote contents. But HTML yes – which means, it can consume external image, css, javascripts, media files, etc. If you are maintainer of a portion of the content of any other websites, act responsibly; do NOT commit any unsafe contents. When you edit some file that you have access to, it may affect someone else’s website that you are authorised to manage contents. Be good, do good. Always import contents onlly from the sources that you trust. Also, you can create and host your own Micro Content Services. See an Example.
The answer is beyond the scope of this plugin. But, always consume content from trusted sources only. Security depends on how you use remote contents. If the remote content is distorted, it may reflect back in your website. Do not allow weak security on your remotely edited contents. Files uploaded via Dropbox, GitHub, FTP/SSH, SVN/GIT may be considered safe as they require password to upload the contents.
