Implement Markdown Support

Question

Has anyone implemented markdown into their forums?

We're already using prettify.js but because we have such a developer centric community, I'm getting requests for markdown support.

I did find https://community.lithium.com/t5/Developers-Discussion/Is-there-an-option-to-use-markdown-syntax-or-any-options-for/m-p/130505#M5005 but as it's three years later, I'm hoping professional services isn't needed to implement this.

Hi&nbsp;sherrie&nbsp;I know you were already asked this in August, but any updates on getting this implemented in your community? We are traveling down the same road and I'm curious if you had to involve professional services or what your next steps&nbsp;look like.&nbsp;&nbsp;Looking forward to conquering this&nbsp;:smileyhappy:&nbsp;

HI there,&nbsp;Did you hear any updates since the last post on this? I would be interested in offering MarkDown support to my authors - some of my teams&nbsp;use it internally, and it would be useful to allow them to use it to author TKB articles (or, indeed, reply to forum queries)&nbsp;P, ...&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;pwallace,&nbsp;I have been working with Lithium to define how we can implement markdown, however, it has been an uphill battle.&nbsp;It seems the only option to truly do markdown (at least from our experience) is to "rip" the current editor out.&nbsp; We are continuing to work with our Lithium contacts to define other options.&nbsp;
