Pre-submission checklist

  • I have searched for existing open or closed issue reports with the same feature request.

Description

This request addresses https://community.vikunja.io/t/markdown-as-first-class-citizen/2975

Tiptap now offers bidirectional Markdown support https://tiptap.dev/docs/editor/markdown (@tiptap/markdown) and this can help solve all the issue for the discussion above without much pain and different editor.

I understand the reasoning for it being removed before and my suggestion now is if implemented to be optional feature in under General Settings. If you enable Markdown support you get bidirectional markdown preserving the syntax regardless if you edit it with a CalDAV client that expect markdown or the web editor. Both will be happy and able to render.

Brief summary of the current major issues

Senario 1 - Creating Description with the web UI editor (tiptap)

Workflow: Create a task in the WebUI -> Sync it with CalDAV / fetch from api (they expect markdown)

Example content in the WebUI:

Raw result:

<h1>Welcome to the Markdown Demo</h1><p>This demo showcases <strong>bidirectional</strong> markdown support in Tiptap with extended features.</p><h2>Features</h2><ul><li><p><strong>Bold text</strong> and <em>italic text</em></p></li><li><p><code>inline code</code> and code blocks</p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tiptap.dev">Links</a></p></li><li><p>Lists and more!</p></li></ul><p></p>

What the CalDAV client (JTXboard) sees after sync:

Senario 2 - Creating task from CalDAV client

Workflow: Create a task on a CalDAV client (JTXboard) -> Sync it with Vikunja

Example rendered markdown content for the new task in JTXboard:
