albertkinng Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I'm struggling with magazine designs for a client. Despite providing all the documentation in Markdown format, when I paste the content into Designer, it only shows the Markdown code. I initially thought Publisher would be suitable for this purpose since it handles all text needs, but unfortunately, Markdown doesn't work there either. Is there a plugin or a setting trick that would allow me to use Markdown text with Affinity apps, or am I out of luck?

walt.farrell Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Markdown is not a supported format in the Affinity applications, Albert. Perhaps someday, as it's been requested, but there's no way to tell if or when it might happen. albertkinng 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Is the client providing this, or are you? You can convert Markdown to other formats such as text, DOCX, and PDF - and then use those in Affinity. Pandoc (free) can make these conversions (i.e. Markdown to Word, or PDF, or text) Markdown Monster can export to HTML or PDF. Some applications can convert HTML to ODT or DOCX.

I'm not going to convert all these documents individually using a third-party app—it's much faster to place or copy and paste them directly. It's frustrating that Publisher can't handle Markdown!

I have often used Marked when I need to copy/paste rich text (use the ⌥⇧⌘C shortcut) from markdown docs. No conversion of countless files necessary.

I doubt Markdown will ever be supported in copy and paste. This mode uses the computer's clipboard to copy exactly the selected text. If supported (as I hope), it will be via import/place. But we can for sure ask for a "paste special" feature, doing the conversion on the fly. Paolo albertkinng 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PopClip app does this magically! In this video you can see how easy it is! I copy the content from a document, refine the content with AI, copy the Markdown content and paste it on the new layout design document and use PopClip to convert it into RTF instantly!
