This Epic contains work related to ~"Category:Text Editors" in GitLab. ## Who is it for? Everyone! We have two different Text Editors in the product, the Plain Text Editor and the Rich Text Editor. The Plain Text Editor required knowledge of Markdown to leverage. For many, writing in Markdown is a barrier to collaboration. Remembering the syntax for image references or working with long tables can be tedious even for those who are relatively experienced. Still, Markdown as a common denominator for content enables efficient collaboration in a version controlled environment. The Rich Text Editor aims to break down these barriers by providing a WYSIWYG experience. There are many contributors to GitLab for whom writing Markdown is like writing a second (or third, or fourth) language. When you can see the Matrix, everything starts to make sense. We don't want to take that super power away from anyone. That's why writing in the Rich Text Editor will support standard Markdown shortcuts. Typing `##` followed by your content will create a rendered Header 2 and let you continue working without removing your fingers from the keyboard.
