As I was building cross-posting long-form content (NIP-23) to Nostr from a Drupal CMS, I was not able to find a good WYSIWYG rich text editor which outputs Markdown formatted content. CKEditor version 5 is shipped in the latest versions of Drupal which formats your text to HTML. I found the markdown_output plugin in the very rich ecosystem of CKEditor. A plugin that provides me the solution I was looking for.

It was not easy to get it to use within Drupal, but doing hard things is often more rewarding than doing a lot of easy things.

Last week I released the first beta release of the module called CKEditor5_Markdown_Editor for Drupal. With this module you can enable the Markdown output plugin in the settings of your text formatter.

The result is quite simple as you can see here:
