Augmentation
Augmentation automatically transforms the rendered output of all Blueprint-defined variables based on their fieldtype.
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.
Variables created "on the fly" with Front Matter won't be augmented.

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