In the Layouts editor #

1. Open Layouts > Layouts and the layout Landing Page / Home; the editor opens it in a draft.
2. Open the block palette (+ at the top left) and drag Markdown (group Basic) into the zone main.
3. Select the block, open the Design tab and fill Markdown content.
4. Publish layout. The pages that use the layout show the block on their next view.

The standard template prints the converted HTML ($block.values.html) inside <div class="slb slb-markdown">.

With templates #

1. Use a Rich text or Text field of a content item instead; content fields are edited with the site's editor.

Which to choose #

Markdown is quick for lists and links; content fields are better when the text must be translated.

Check #

• Lists and links render as HTML, not as asterisks and brackets.
