Previewing markdown #292
Description
(spin-off from #251)
Add either a dedicated pipe or extend the existing html pipe to take markdown from the POSTed request.body, proxy the html pipe, and wrap the generated output in a JSON object:
{
"content": "<!doctype html>... "
}
This would be a safe way to support live (read: "as you type") previewing of markdown using Helix (for example using a browser extension).
The simplest and most transparent solution would be to register a new pipeline to a .preview.json selector/extension combo, and have editing tools POST there.
A more sophisticated solution would be to use a vendor specific mime-type like application/vnd.helix.preview+json in the Accept header, so the POST could be made to the original (.html) path, and pipe resolution would be handled by Fastly based on the header.
