Is it possible to write markdown in Google docs? This is what often pushed me back to Confluence for various docs, the markdown plugin works as expected, so I can write naturally or copy-paste from obsidian.
Markdown is so ubiquitous as a dev that I strongly resist writing anything else these days.
- jmacd 4y agoGoogle Docs supports Markdown just enough to frustrate the life out of you.
- evancordell 4y agoI saw your comment, enabled Markdown in a Google Doc, tried to write a code block, became immediately frustrated. Looks like it only supports bold/italic, links, and headers.
- sphars 4y agoYes, Google added limited support for Markdown last year, though I'm not sure if it's rolled out to all accounts yet.
