## Overview
- **Name:** `markdown`
- **UI:** [Toast UI Editor](https://ui.toast.com/tui-editor)
- **Data type:** `markdown string`
The markdown widget provides a full fledged text editor allowing users to format text with features such as headings and blockquotes. Users can change their editing view with a handy toggle button.
_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.
## Widget options
For common options, see [Common widget options](/docs/widgets#common-widget-options).
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| ------- | ------ | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| default | string | `''` | _Optional_. The default value for the field. Accepts markdown content |
## Example

```
