The new Pagecord editor is now live for everyone!
Customers who signed up after 1st October 2025 have already been using this editor so won't see anything new. Longer-standing customers will notice the change.
To recap, the new editor has a number of key improvements:
- It understands Markdown commands so you can type
##to start a new heading, and so on - You can paste in Markdown and it will be automatically formatted
- It uses
<p>tags which makes more sense for a writing platform (the old editor used<br>tags for creating paragraphs) - It supports highlighting text in different colours
-
Inline codeis now possible - It has excellent support for code blocks including full syntax highlighting!
- Support for tables is coming soon!
- It's far more extensible, so will continue to get better over time
The one downside is that image galleries are not yet supported. This was something of a hidden (and rather imperfect) feature of the older editor, but I'm hopeful it will be added in the coming months.
There may be a few small bugs since it's still rather early days for this editor. I've been using it for months now and it's definitely a much improved experience over the old editor. I hope you think so too.
If you're interested in making the editor even better, it's open source on Github and maintained by the fine folks at 37signals.
