The community member who posted the original content is requesting the ability to paste tables in Markdown format, as an alternative to creating tables using Flexbox. The comments discuss the potential for supporting Mermaid diagrams, with some community members suggesting it could be a useful feature, while others express concerns about the complexity and user adoption. There is no explicitly marked answer, but the community members discuss the trade-offs and potential implementation details.
I understand that proper tables are planned. This is likely to be a GUI task for the most part. I wonder if you – for now – couldn't extend your markdown-support, so that users can simply paste tables in Markdown format:
| Month | Savings | | -------- | ------- | | January | $250 | | February | $80 | | March | $420 |
Yet, if you could quickly place a table without having to spend quite a bit of time creating it with Flexbox (which isn't a "proper" table), this would already be useful.
Mermaid is more and more supported, AI can help generate it in an easy way. And, Obsidian, Notion, Hugo, Coda… All supports mermaid. Imho mermaid can be considered close to be a regular feature in Markdown.
What pushed WebStudio to support Markdown at the beginning?
Mermaid is not supported natively in html and requires big rendering script. You can put it into html embed if you want to have mermaid on your website.
