Markdown is a super versitile language for taking down developer notes. For people to have a good experience creating documentation with our platform, we MUST have the ability to support writing in multiple coding languages.
Theres a number of was to solve this, but an ideal solution would look like a dropdown/select option in the editor toolbar that allows a user to select the language they want to write in, i.e. Plaintext, Rich Text (the default - using the formatting options in the toolbar and keyboard formatting options like ctrl+b for bold, etc.), HTML, Markdown, Python, JavaScript, etc.
Just like an IDE preformats your text, we should offer the same solution and simalr user experience. There are many times where I need to create a document that involves both code and text, and markdown and html are great languages to communicate from both sides (they can visually display formatted text as well as inline code).
For instance, I am developing design documents for new automations and i need a way to clearly display what the API JSON response looks like from a particular scraper module, and there is not a way to effectively do that in our current docs editing system.
This has been an outstanding request for months and there has been no traction on it, however, it would offer tremendous value for creating documentation around automations that are being sold on our platform.
In regards to writing in JavaScript, it would be incredible if there was a way that we could allow users to run JavaScript (like a cloud function) just by writing the code into a doc (or some other new βCodeβ item we create) and calling it within the automation.
There are some examples of this like 0codekit.com
