Markdown blocks

​

Adding a markdown block to the pipeline

1. Create a new pipeline or open an existing pipeline.
2. Edit the pipeline.
3. Add a markdown block by clicking on the Markdown button from the list of block types available. The Markdown button is visible at the bottom of the main section or when hovering over the divider between two blocks.
4. You can rearrange the blocks by clicking on the block header and dragging it to another position in the pipeline.

​

Shortcuts

• Edit mode: Double-click the markdown block’s content area to open the content editor. You can also click the “Edit” icon in the block header to edit the content.
• Exit edit mode: Press Escape on your keyboard while the content editor is active. You may need to press Escape twice, once to exit the editor and another time to deselect the block. When the block is deselected, the editor will automatically close.

Directory

The files associated with the markdown blocks are located in the markdowns directory in the File Browser.

When you delete a markdown block that is not used in any other pipeline, the file may also be deleted automatically as well.
