Description

Currently, all text fields using TextWidget support markdown. However, this information is not stated anywhere in the UX or documentation. I was under the assumption that it was plaintext, but because it is markdown I now need to escape or use alternative characters for some items (like ~). Also of note, which markdown extended syntax is used should be specified to users. One of the most common extended syntax used ~~strikethough~~, where the implementation TagStudio is using uses ~strikethrough~ OR ~~strikethrough~~, which makes it difficult to type ~ multiple times in one textbox field.

Solution

Recommendations:

1. Add a tip to the text field editing dialog (near EditTextBox) that specifies that markdown is supported. Ideally, it should link the a page containing all formats supported by the extended syntax used in TagStudio (QT MarkdownText).
2. Update the web documentation, fields.md
3. Consider adding "prettyprint" / "wysiwyg" / "rich" editing of the markdown
4. Consider using a markdown extended syntax that is typically user-facing, rather than an extended syntax that is typically developer-facing.

Alternatives

While documentation around the markdown capability is needed regardless, allowing the user to have a plaintext text field (either library-wide disable of markdown, or a flag on the field to use plaintext) would bypass the issues that led to this request.

Additional Notes:

I may be able to contribute to this issue, however I would like confirmation of what solution items are picked before beginning.

id like to add on that some method of disabling the markdown feature would be nice in some way (like a text box variant with it disabled) as pasting some text into fields with this enabled can cause some.. graphical issues with it, and id rather not edit it cause would take awhile or just impractical if there's alot of it so a toggle would be nice (also data integrity and all that)
