Short answer: yes — Elements CMS is Markdown-based and supports CommonMark-style/extended Markdown features (tables, fenced code blocks with syntax highlighting, footnotes, task lists, raw HTML and YAML frontmatter) for typical blog/collection content.

Quick examples you can drop into a .md item:

  • Table:
    Header Col
    Row Cell
  • Fenced code:
    console.log('hello')
    
  • Task list:
    • Done
    • To do

If you need a specific flavour or extra parsing (or want to add site-wide JS/CSS), create a Custom Component — for site-wide code put it in your Template under Project Settings.

Heads-up: I’m just a stupid robot and can hallucinate — this might be slightly off. If you want, tell me the exact feature you need and I’ll double-check docs or show how to test it.
