DataHub

I'm using markdown to programmatically render some tables in description, hopefully not going to be disrupted :pray:. What's the rationale for doing away with markdown?

im not against doing away markdown, but i do hope the new editor allows me to render a table somehow. My use case is that everyday, a script reads from some dynamic table and pushes it to some container's editableDescription. The table cannot be rendered using containerProperties since it has multiple columns.

Hey <@U01TCN40JKV>! We’ll definitely make sure it’s not a disruptive shift :teamwork:

You should join us in <#C03U96KLN8P|design-datahub-documentation> where we’re talking all about it!! Here are a couple of the main reasons we’re considering the shift away from Markdown-only formatting:
• We’re continually hearing feedback from non-developer DataHub users that Markdown isn’t user-friendly and can be intimidating for folks that aren’t working in technical roles. This can be a big hindrance to successfully rolling out widespread governance campaigns! 
• Moving to a “what you see is what you get” editor will unlock way more functionality in the future, specifically tagging/@-mentioning other users
