Is there a way to configure the default filter for page parts? I’d like  
to default it to Markdown (one less thing for editors to worry about).  
I’m sure I could edit the Radiant source to force it, but this should be  
a configuration variable, not hard coded.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, there is not support for this right now. You could write  
a simple extension that would do this.

Looks like I’ll be doing that, then. I’ll post the code when I’m done.

Thanks!

Maybe you can use the DefaultPageParts for your root page specifying  
filter in the config parts.  
Take a look here:

That looks like it will do what I’m looking for/ Perhaps I’ll give it a  
try!

Thanks!
