Installing the Markdown plugin on Ubuntu

[dandv]

The plugins install page says to search for plugins with apt-cache search geany. When I run that command on Ubuntu 20, it doesn't show any markdown plugins. How can I install the plugin?

You probably can't, the markdown plugin took a while to become GTK3 capable, so from when Debian/Ubuntu switched to GTK3, and the release with markdown GTK3 compatible, its not available.

When Debian/Ubuntu catches up with a recent version of Geany-plugins with GTK3 markdown it should appear again (assuming the package maintainer for those distros remembers to re-enable it if its manually disabled).

It is never there

I am informed that Ubuntu 20.04 has Geany 1.36 which should have the GTK-3 markdown plugin, so the issue needs to be raised with Ubuntu as this project does not make the packages.
