Hey Workflowy folks, we’re excited to announce a nice quality of life update for all of you who love using Markdown! Starting today, you can paste Markdown content directly into Workflowy, and if Workflowy supports it, it will render correctly. This is great for pasting from other popular applications that support Markdown without having to go back and adjust all your content’s formatting.
What Markdown Features Are Supported?
Here’s the list of Markdown elements you can paste into Workflowy that will be correctly formatted:
- Bold and italic text: **Bold**, *Italic*
- Headers:
#H1,## H2 - Lists: 1.First thing, – Important thing
- Blockquotes:
>My amazing quote - Links:
[Google](https://google.com) - Inline code strings:
`print('Hello world')` - Multi-line code blocks:
```My code block```
We’re excited to see how you use Markdown in Workflowy to streamline your workflow. Whether you’re a Markdown pro or just getting started, this feature is designed to make your note-taking experience more dynamic and intuitive.
