EasyMDE

INFO

Before Avo 3.17 this field was called markdown. It was renamed to easy_mde so we can add our own implementation with markdown.

An Avo create-form card containing an easy_mde field: the EasyMDE Markdown editor with its toolbar (bold, italic, heading, lists, link and preview controls) above a text area pre-filled with sample Markdown — a Release notes document with a heading, bold text, a bullet list and a link.

The easy_mde field renders a EasyMDE Markdown Editor and is associated with a text or textarea column in the database. easy_mde field converts text within the editor into raw Markdown text and stores it back in the database.
