Markdown Support in Notes Field

📋 Summary

Add optional Markdown support to the Notes field in LaunchBox, enabling users to better organize and format large amounts of information using headings, lists, emphasis, and links.

🎯 Feature Overview

  • Support a limited set of Markdown syntax:

    • # Headings, bold, italic, - Lists, [Links](url)

  • Markdown rendering would be opt-in, activated by a specific tag at the beginning of the notes (e.g. <!--markdown-->).

  • No live preview required—rendering happens only in display views (e.g. game details panel).

🛠 Use Case

A user adds detailed notes for a game, including walkthrough steps, character tips, and links to external resources. Using Markdown allows them to structure the content clearly, making it easier to read and reference.

📦 Benefits

  • Makes long-form notes more readable and useful

  • Encourages richer documentation of games

  • Keeps compatibility with existing notes content
