The markdown widget provides a full fledged text editor - which is based on [slate](https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate) - that allows users to format text with features such as headings and blockquotes. Users are also allowed to write in markdown by simply flipping a switch.
_Please note:_ If you want to use your markdown editor to fill a markdown file contents after its frontmatter, you'll have to name the field `body` so the CMS recognizes it and saves the file accordingly.
-`editor_components`: an array of strings representing the names of editor components to display (all shown by default). The `image` and `code-block` editor components are included with Netlify CMS by default, but others may be [created and registered](/docs/custom-widgets/#registereditorcomponent).
-`modes`: an array of strings representing the names of allowed editor modes. Possible modes are `raw` and `rich_text`. If both modes are allowed, they can be toggled via a toggle button in the toolbar.
_Please note:_ The markdown widget outputs a raw markdown string. Your static site generator may or may not render the markdown to HTML automatically. Consult with your static site generator's documentation for more information about rendering markdown.
