Markdown support
under consideration

It would be excellent if we had the ability to input articles/kb items via Markdown instead of just WYSIWYG.

Thank you The Hudu Team!
We look forward to full MD support so we can copy/paste README.md files
Thank you so much!

The Hudu Team that's already nice. However, the issue isn't with typing but rather with pasting markdown files, especially from integrations like OpenAI. Some comments further down have mentioned this, and I believe this is the main concern. I love your product and am looking forward to all the new features!

The Hudu Team Your current implementation of markdown is stupid. I was not able to copy and paste in a basic markdown document into a KB, as I literally had to press space after EVERY supported key. This is limiting
Alexandre Dubois
Please add markdown support. It's so much easier to create formatted documentation this way.

I would also love to see support for this added.

The Hudu Team - I’d love to see Markdown support added to the KB sections. This would greatly improve compatibility, readability, and ease of integration with external tools. With the upcoming enhancements to your OpenAI integration, Markdown support seems particularly valuable for structured content creation and consumption.
Is there a particular reason Markdown hasn’t been prioritized yet, such as requiring significant changes to the existing codebase? It feels like there is substantial community interest around this feature.

If we could get something of a markdown editor that is similar to Hedgedoc that would be awesome. Markdown on the left and live preview on the right. This would also be extremely helpful when copying from README.md files along with output from GPT, and markdown files generated by Folge. Give the option for the regular WYSIWYG editor, a markdown editor, and aan HTML editor.

A markdown editor built into Hudu would also be great along with the ability to import markdown docs. Import the markdown doc, and keep it as markdown.

Coming here to express my support for this feature.
This is going to be super helpful for us to simply copy README.md files instead of having to reformat the entire documentation.

Yitz Pachtman Or link/embed README.md files directly from repo so you don't have to keep multiple places updated.

Beyond the current supported Markdown features, the one I want most is inline code formatting when I wrap text in backticks. This seems like a simple enough one given that other text formatting (bold, italics, etc.) is already supported.
T
Tim T.
David Long Yes! Exactly this. I've been _manually_ highlighting pieces of text (e.g. paths, object names, packages, etc) and setting font format to "inline code" which seems to be monospaced. I also use single backticks for future proofing and in the event I copy/paste the article somewhere that does support markdown.
Also, sidenote, currently "inline code" on dark theme is barely visible as it doesn't seem to add a background to the text like many markdown viewers (e.g. GitHub) do.

Merged in a post:
Allow pasting markdown into KB
D
David Y.
This is pretty simple - if I type markdown syntax into an article, that markdown is styled/formatted once I press Enter. If I already have markdown text (like from the OpenAI integration, or from another source), pasting that into the KB will not style the text. The markdown syntax is retained and the document is treated as plain text with no styling/formatting.
I feel like everything is already in place to make this work just a little better. Maybe evaluate the whole document for markdown syntax and style any unstyled marks once the document is published?
