Using Markdown in FileMaker
Coding in FileMaker can become like a drug. If you think it can be done, you may be tempted to create it. However, there are a few times when you simply shouldn't. When technology exists, which you can leverage, it's often much faster (and better tested) to go outside of FileMaker.
In this video I showcase exactly how easy it is to implement a Text-to-HTML conversion tool using a very popular method named Markdown. If you, or your users, have ANY need to generate HTML - and do so easily - then this video and file will have what you need.
Using Markdown, you can quickly create valid HTML from much more human-readable text. If you know nothing about Markdown and how it might benefit you, then make sure to watch this video and learn from the technique file!

Markdown use was hoped for but disappointing as too involved
Sorry to say, This comes across way too involved from a novice's perspective. A walk through of integrating into a seperate database rather than just describing would have been helpful
