The ability to use the markdown language in rich text fields will allow non-technical collaborators to quickly and easily format text without needing access to the Webflow core toolset. Markdown is widely used in many CMS and editing systems where collaboration is spread across many job functions.
Here's a link to the syntax:

A must-have for every modern web workflow!

For anyone needing this now, you can add this support using
showdown.jsand a bit of jQuery. You can place your markdown code inside of HTML Embeds, which are now supported inside of Richtext content, and can be stored in the CMS.Bonus, you can create HTML tables this way, also using Markdown.

This would be great, less marketing more markdown Vlad!
Hey everyone! I had this EXACT same problem.
So I build a chrome extension to convert markdown that is copy/pasted into the rich text field :)

PLEASE PLEASE do this. My company is migrating to Webflow and this is now a 100% show-stopper for us. The current editor is absolutely horrific. We can't even add ordered lists.
This would be really helpful especially when you use Zapier and getting text from other apps.
please. please. please. do this!
Fully into it! It'd really help. The current Rich text editor is too simple. Markdown should help. Especially with syntax highlighting in rich text.
Hey there, this is really critical to have markdown support, we were planning to do a massive migration from Medium to Webflow for all of our blog content and push them into webflow using markdown format.
We have the markdown files, but it appears we aren't able to make this work..
Any updates?
Will markdown be supported in the near future or should we look into alternatives?
Thank you!
did anything happen with this?
and still no response? It's been 2 years now. Are you guys at Workflow too busy selling "business integration" to take care of your actual users? (devs)
Helps when drafting on iOS and other text editors or when collaborating...
Completely a must-have as we can spread the same text on several different platforms
Due to markdowns recent popularity spike, i fully support this!
Take care when implementing the syntax though, due to various common "flavors" or "interpretations".
Would be awsm if CMS compatible!
Surprisingly absent
I'm 100% behind this. This addition would be incredible for us. We could keep all of our markdown inside of our git repo and make pull requests for review. Things like showing code snippets or tables are make the sites that much better.
This is definitely a must.
So much content in markdown format for creators of apps and services that the lack of markdown support is actually a problem.
We currently are splitting our site between Readme.io and WebFlow for just this reason. Pages on Readme.io are easily editable by our product team, none of which know or understand CSS or can really in any practical way use the WebFlow editor for updating or adding new pages.
Hey Kirill, it is possible to style elements inside Rich Text blocks - check out this tutorial: https://university.webflow.com/article/rich-text
Love everything I see in Webflow but Markdown seems like a must-have in order to: (1) properly format rich text (2) export text out of Dropbox / Medium ...etc.
Unless of course, is there a way to style elements inside a rich text blog, but I haven't found a way to do it.
