Markdown Content

Contentstack’s JSON Rich Text Editor (RTE) allows you to use Markdown syntax to format your content, making the creation process faster and more efficient. Markdown provides a simple way to add formatting elements like headings, lists, links, and code blocks without complex HTML tags.

Supported Markdown Commands

In the JSON RTE, you can format your content easily using the following Markdown commands:

Note: After applying a Markdown syntax, add a space to activate the formatting (except for code blocks). To switch back to normal text, use the same syntax again.
