Hi,
Is there a way to use Oxygen's form controls with Markdown content?
Thanks.

Hi,
Oxygen allows editing Markdown content in a plain text area with syntax highlight and a preview which is not editable.
So I do not see how form controls could be used for that.
Could you give us more details about your use case?
Regards,
Radu

Hi Radu, thanks for the reply. Here's my story, probably rather typical.
I want some of my coworkers to use Oxygen-based forms for creating their content in a standardized way. They balk at DITA or XML in general, insist upon using Markdown.
I guess I'll have to try another approach. Thanks.

Hi,
How about if you create the forms using DITA XML? They will not even know it is XML underneath if there are only forms. Because they would still need Oxygen XML desktop or our WebAuthor in-browser editor to edit using such custom form controls anyway...

Radu

Yes, thanks Radu. I will try to do just that.
