shortTitle: Set Markdown processor

People with write permissions for a repository can set the Markdown processor for a {% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} site.
|
|
|
|
{% data variables.product.prodname_pages %} supports two Markdown processors: [kramdown](http://kramdown.gettalong.org/) and {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}'s own Markdown processor, which is used to render [{% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} Flavored Markdown (GFM)](https://github.github.com/gfm/) throughout {% data variables.product.product_name %}. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/about-writing-and-formatting-on-github)."
|
|
|
|
You can use {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} Flavored Markdown with either processor, but only our GFM processor will always match the results you see on {% data variables.product.product_name %}.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.pages.navigate-site-repo %}
|
|
2. In your repository, browse to the *_config.yml* file.
|
|
{% data reusables.repositories.edit-file %}
|
|
4. Find the line that starts with `markdown:` and change the value to `kramdown` or `GFM`.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.files.write_commit_message %}
|
|
{% data reusables.files.choose-commit-email %}
|
|
{% data reusables.files.choose_commit_branch %}
|
|
{% data reusables.files.propose_new_file %}
