I have a content platform (medical app) where our clients create or upload a significant percentage of the content.
Although markdown has its limitations, as well as a barrier to entry for the non-technical user, it enables us to make sure our content is uniform in appearance with minimal style guides.
A good markdown table editor would be a real winner, and some f the better open source editors don't have a consistent set of features, so it is often s bit of a trade off determining what is best.
- JohnHammersley 11y agoYes, I can see where markdown is a good middle ground for that type of regular, consistent content. Out of curiosity, did you have to set up templates for the content to help the non-technical users, or was a markdown tutorial enough?

Our editor also has hyperlinks which insert tags for headings (two options), bold, lists and links etc. So far it's been well received, although we are continually looking to tweak
