Google shared a blog post with Google Workspace customers announcing some good news for all Markdown fans out there. Google Docs can now automatically convert Markdown formatting to rich text.

If you’re not familiar with Markdown, this markup language has become very popular over the past few years if you want to write structured documents — and especially web content.
