Add support for blank lines in Markdown Templates

Ideas & Features

I often want to include blank lines in content and while I can do it when manually editing Rich Text fields, blank lines are not preserved when importing fields from e.g. Notion, and I can’t generate them when using Markdown Templates.

Any plans for adding this support?

A bit of a work around, might be relevant to your case:

I’ll explain with an example “Doc” database. Make a new database called for “Doc Template” . Link it one to many to the thing you’re templating to.

Then have a rule on entity update (triggered on doc template) or create of a “Doc” where if the Doc Template relation field is not empty, set the Doc content by formula field: [Step 1 Doc].[Doc Template].Content.

Then you (or other editors) can edit the template in the templates section, without needing to ever add or change the rules.

Big upside is you can also embed views and have them copied over! Something I don’t think is possible with markdown templates.

Hope this helps!!
