Augmentation

Overview

Augmentation is kind of like magic. ✨

For example, while using a Markdown field, your content will automatically be converted to HTML without needing to use a markdown modifier. Each fieldtype documents if and how augmentation affects output.

Example

Let's look at an example with and without augmentation using the following content:

## How to Jump Higher
Bend your knees more and then spring upwards a _lot_ faster.

With Augmentation

If you're using a Markdown field, the output will be as follows:

<h2>How to Jump Higher</h2>
<p>Bend your knees more and then spring upwards a <em>lot</em> faster.</p>

Without Augmentation

While using a Textarea field — which is not augmented — the output will be exactly the same as the as input:

## How to Jump Higher
Bend your knees more and then spring upwards a _lot_ faster.
