The Multiple-paragraph text
field with the HTML editor
field type selected is a great option for authoring rich text. For my team, that editor experience is preferable over the Markdown editor
field type.
However, when requesting data with the CDA from an HTML editor
field, you can only ever get the response back in HTML format. I have a need to get that in markdown format. Currently the Markdown editor
field data can be requested from the API in both markdown format and HTML format. It would be great to extend that capability to the HTML editor
field.
I know that I can use a package like https://www.npmjs.com/package/turndown on the frontend to convert HTML data from the API into markdown format, but with multiple frontend platforms requesting the same data, it becomes much more cumbersome to do that in many places. It would be much cleaner to just have the option to request the HTML Editor
data in markdown format directly from the API. This is all assuming that the markdown format supplied would be clean and usable.
