One of my biggest mistakes with this blog was not finding a WordPress plugin that would allow me to write my posts with markdown; to this day I still need to write posts in 'Visual' mode and then manually convert the post to HTML for 'Text' mode. One of these days I want to convert existing posts to Markdown and then enable a plugin that will convert Markdown to HTML. This painful process made me ask myself: is there a way I can use Node.js JavaScript to convert HTML to Markdown? There is, and it's called Turndown by Dom Christie.
Jun 22, 2018 it is very hard to keep the same style applied to the editor when we convert its content in either HTML or Markdown. I agree, but I think that saved content shouldn't be interchangable. Strapi admin could provide the ability to edit raw text or preview/edit markdown text or preview/edit html text based on what the developer needs to save. Sep 22, 2019 Requests all our services from Strapi API, creates markdown files out of those and saving them in your eleventy-starter folder. Builds your template (we’ll create one later) & markdown files. Strapi is a wonderfully robust headless content management system — one I absolutely adore and believe you will as well — but one shortcoming some users have identified, myself included, is that there's no built-in option to render HTML from the Markdown generated by the default WYSIWYG text editor. It is possible to add HTML support to the Strapi editor. At the moment the HTML will not be previewed within Strapi, but you can follow these steps to get it to render properly in your app. Your basic steps are all related to HTML-in-Markdown.

You can use the interactive Turndown demo to experiment with its capabilities. Turndown has a number of options and allows you to use filters to keep elements you believe could be at risk for improper conversion.
Most developers look for a Markdown to HTML solution so it's rate to find myself in a position to need to convert HTML to Markdown. I look forward to migrating my site's content to Markdown so that writing posts is much less stressful in the future!
