The latest Contentstack upgrade brings you the most-awaited feature: a full-featured Markdown Editor. This Markdown Editor allows you to add content in Markdown, an easy-to-use markup language with plain text formatting that can be easily converted to HTML.

Adding a Markdown Editor

You can add one or more Markdown editors to new, as well as existing forms.

Add a new form or edit an existing one to enter the Form Editor mode. In the Form Editor mode, simply add a new field with Markdown as its data type.
