<ul></ul><p>Are there other plans to make it possible to switch to markdown that is likewise the new default at Redmine ?<br />Otherwise every existing redmine instance (that is not very small) is rather screwed :(</p> Redmine - Feature #37365: Allow users to choose textile or markdown formattinghttps://www.redmine.org/issues/37365?journal_id=1093762023-02-23T21:15:46ZHolger Just

<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>Closed</i></li><li><strong>Resolution</strong> set to <i>Duplicate</i></li></ul><p>A per-field formatting is not easy to do as we would have to store the formatting for each field separately in the database and update every place which formats text to take the respective field setting into account. As such, I'm afraid this is likely not going to happen.</p>
<p>Instead the general way forward within Redmine is currently to set the default formatting for new installations to Common Mark with <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Change default text formatter for new installations from textile to common_mark (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/34863">#34863</a>.</p>
<p>To migrate existing Redmine installations from Textile to Common Mark, you can then use a converter, such as the <a href="https://github.com/orchitech/redmine_reformat" class="external">Reformat plugin</a>. Going forward, we are likely including something similar into Redmine and likely also provide some API for plugins to hook into. If you find some cases where the plugin or its forks / variants / predecessors produce unexpected output, please report those cases there.</p>
<p>In any case, your original issue is a duplicate of <a class="issue tracker-2 status-1 priority-4 priority-default" title="Feature: Allow overriding the default text formatting in each project (New)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/8095">#8095</a> and I'm closing it as such.</p>
