I’d like to know what the future plans are for Markdown support. Either in the editor or in a custom component.

These days I can’t build a website without Markdown support as it is a nightmare to try and create larger blocks of text with formatting.

I asked this question some time ago but never got an answer. So hopefully we can get some idea as to the future plans for supporting Markdown.

Hi @handshaper Yes, I’m already working on a markdown custom element - If you would, could you email me directly and give me a list of what markdown ‘tags’ you would want - bill at stack-its dot com And anyone else that wants to as well, so I have a to-do list 😉

Thanks,

Awesome, Bill,

Here is my list.

# Supported Tags

# HEADING 1

## HEADING 2

### HEADING 3

#### HEADING 4

##### HEADING 5

###### HEADING 6

**BOLD**

_ITALIC_

_ **BOLD AND ITALIC** _

> BLOCK QUOTES

> NESTED
> 
> > BLOCK QUOTES

Block quotes should also support Markdown elements within the quote.

1. ORDERED LISTS
2. ARE ESSENTIAL

- AS WELL AS
- UNORDERED LISTS

CODE BLOCKS

IMAGES

LINKS

HTML (for me, there are a lot of times when I need to use HTML within the markdown text, for example, GB24 - Superscript)

It is also handy to ESCAPE certain characters, although I don’t use this often.
