Creative Uses for the Markdown String to PDF Endpoint
Find out how using a Markdown to PDF conversion endpoint can improve the way you present information in a variety of professional situations.
The way information is presented has become very important, particularly for individuals and businesses that need to maintain brand consistency. Fortunately, Markdown has emerged as a way of formatting documents using plain text. Recognising the usefulness of Markdown, we have developed an endpoint that helps structure and format documents and convert them into PDFs. This blog will explore some creative uses of this endpoint to help you make the most of it.
1. Collaborative Writing and Publishing
When collaborating on documents with other people and teams, Markdown is an excellent way to ensure consistency throughout the process. Each person writes and edits their section of the document, and once everyone has finished, the document's style (font, size, colour, etc.) can be determined using CSS and then converted into a PDF.
2. Generating Reports
Businesses continually generate reports for internal review, as well as for shareholders and clients. Therefore, having Markdown to help structure these documents in line with the company's brand would be ideal. All necessary content types, such as tables, graphs, and charts, can be added to the document to support its content.
3. Creating Portfolios
Many professions that handle portfolios as part of their business activities could benefit from converting Markdown files to PDFs. This is particularly useful for designers, writers, and photographers, as it makes it easier to structure, organise, and distribute copies.
4. Personalized Email Attachments
Many professions that handle portfolios as part of their business activities could benefit from converting Markdown files to PDFs. This is particularly useful for designers, writers, and photographers, as it makes it easier to structure, organise, and distribute copies.
5. Automated Documentation
This feature could also be incorporated into CI/CD pipelines or documentation generators. This would enable software development teams to automate the creation of changelogs, user manuals, and API documentation. Markdown would be highly beneficial in these cases since it can be easily updated and converted to a PDF.
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
