Deep Dive into Structured Text in DatoCMS

This video is all about the magic🪄 of the Structured Text field! We designed the Structured Text editor to offer one of the best writing experiences on the market. It supports Slash commands, Markdown shortcuts, and full-screen focus mode. Here's a quick video of it:

As we work together on trying out all the options this field gives us, we're going to see how slash commands, markdown, formatting options, and/or typing in "focus mode" give us a really smooth and immersive content creation experience.

Many of us are used to creating content in other tools and then just pasting them over to the CMS, but that's a thing of the past when working with this field!

As we create content, embed media, and do some formatting, we'll also see how we can expand this model to accept new media types (like a PDF) and blocks, and see how certain validations restrict us from creating content we're not supposed to (such as going beyond H2).

The Structured Text field also let's you extend the editor with custom plugins within the field itself, but I'm not nearly technical enough to make that on the fly - so rather than making myself look like a fool, check out the docs to explore the possibilities with your devs!
