Issues with Markdown Formatting in Webflow CMS RTF Fields

·

When I copy paste markdown into a CMS RTF field, it doesn’t format it correctly, but the Webflow docs say they support markdown. Does it only work if I manually type it into the box?

Tom where are you copying the content from? Like what app is it coming from?

I was copying out of Obsidian 🤷 It works if I copy out of the browser, so I’ve just stuck to that for now

yeah im guessing Obsidian is adding additional characters to the paste that would not be detectable. I am able to copy from Notion into a rich text field just fine.

I would also just try formatting using the standard WYSWIG options within Obsidian and see if you can just copy and paste that into the rich field - using markdown might just be over-doing it.

I just saw a comment on reddit suggesting to use Obsidian’s view mode (rather than edit mode) - I just tried that and it did work 👍
