Google’s implementation probably won’t appeal very much to the people who use Markdown to get complete control of their text (without having to bother with HTML’s annoying closing tags). Whether you like this approach or not is probably a personal preference.

A look at the various ways you can display Markdown - clockwise from top left: with no marks in Google Docs, with marks and formatting in iA Writer, showing marks for the line being edited and formatting everywhere else in Obsidian, and with marks and no formatting in TextEdit. That’s different from how most other text editors display Markdown by default - usually, you’ll still be able to see the marks, with the editor also adding some type of formatting to give you an idea of how it’ll look when you publish. Rather than showing you your marks in plain text, it uses them to automatically apply formatting and then gets rid of them. If you’re used to writing in Markdown in other applications, Google Docs’ implementation is probably going to take some getting used to (even ignoring the seemingly non-standard strikethrough syntax and absent options). If you don’t see it, it may not be rolled out for your account yet - Google says it could take “longer than 15 days” for the feature to show up for everyone (personally, I had to try three different Google accounts before I found one that had it). To activate the feature, go to Tools > Preferences, and check the “Automatically detect Markdown” box. That’s a far from complete implementation of Markdown, but at least it covers most of what I personally use the language for. It’s adding much wider support, though - you can now use Markdown to add headings, bold and italicize text (or do both), strikethrough (though it’s done using a - on either side of your content, rather than the traditional ~), and links. Google says that Docs already supported a few Markdown autocorrections for bulleted and numbered lists, and checkboxes. For example, if you type “# Google Docs is getting more Markdown support” it’ll automatically get converted to a level one heading. In a blog post announcing the feature, Google says it’s doing this through its autocorrect feature, so it will automatically format the text for you after you type it in Markdown format. The feature allowed users to select different multiple pieces of text to be able to edit at once instead of having to contact or highlight the individual sections separately.Google is adding Markdown support to Google Docs on the web, letting you format your document using text shortcuts rather than keyboard ones.
