A new editor for Pagecord

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 code is 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.
