Official site: https://yadav-prakhar.github.io/markdown-sn-extension/ Write your ServiceNow journal entries in Markdown — and convert them with a single click. ServiceNow's text editor fights you. Asterisks don't bold. Backticks stay as backticks. Tables break. If you've ever pasted carefully formatted Markdown into a work note only to watch it fall apart, Markdown to ServiceNow solves that permanently. Write naturally in Markdown. Convert it to properly formatted ServiceNow journal output in one click. Works in work notes, comments, close notes, and activity stream fields. —————————————————————————— HOW IT WORKS —————————————————————————— Four ways to convert: 📝 Popup Converter Click the extension icon, paste your Markdown, preview the output, and copy it to any ServiceNow field. 🖱️ Context Menu Select Markdown text anywhere on a page, right-click, and choose "Convert Markdown to ServiceNow" — converted text lands on your clipboard instantly. ⚡ In-Page Toolbar (SN Markdown Utility Belt) On any ServiceNow instance, a toolbar appears directly next to journal fields. Convert in-place, preview before applying, undo with one click after.
