Markdown is an easy-to-use markup language that you can use to create formatted rich text. It has a simple syntax to format text as headers, lists, boldface, italics, etc.

This blog explores how you can convert Markdown data to HTML using the Byteline No-Code platform. Many cloud applications rely on RichText formatting for their Content Management Systems (CMS) or databases. When working with no-code automation, you often need to input data into these rich text fields in the specific format required by the application.

While Markdown is a common format used by platforms like Airtable, others like Webflow CMS prefer HTML for their RichText fields. This means that when automating tasks with Webflow CMS, you must send HTML data to populate rich text values. Consequently, you may need to convert between Markdown and HTML to streamline your automation process. In this blog, we'll explore various solutions for converting Markdown to HTML.
