Hello @ChisomUma 👋 Thanks for sharing the outline. It looks good to me but let's wait for @PaulBratslavsky confirmation on the outline. After that you can get started.
@ChisomUma I like it. I am assuming you are implementing the Another common question we get around this topic is how to style the generated markdown.
Would love if you can cover that in this article, will really help. Also, when you mean markdown editor, are you referring to be able to write markdown from your next js and post to Strapi or just displaying markdown from Strapi in your Next js app?
Hi @PaulBratslavsky, Yes! I will be covering styling in the generated markdown.
On your question, the article will feature a note editor where users can enter text in the form of markdown, which will then be stored in Strapi, and can be fetched and displayed in the correct formatting in a view area.
@ChisomUma I would recommend using some sort of WYSIWYG editor to help write the markdown in your next js app rather than using a simple text field.
Hello @PaulBratslavsky @dessireugarte, I would love to write on this topic.
Hello! We are currently trying to focus on more advanced topics, so we are no longer going to continue with this topic and I'll close the issue.
