Markdown entries

johanfforsberg opened this issue · 0 comments

Right now, in practice, the only option for entry content format is HTML (plain text is also supported, but the UI has no editor support for that.)

It would be nice to add (some flavor of) markdown as input format. Mostly because it's just what people are used to nowadays, but also the editor would be much simpler. The HTML format wouldn't go away but it might not be the default for new entries.

The changes in the code would be quite simple, mostly it's a matter of finding a suitable markdown editor component that can be dropped in, and adding a way to choose the format.

Problems: might be tricky to support more advanced things like tables. But I'm not sure it's really necessary, perhaps people just use tables because they can.
