Working with Markdown

Integration blocks can be configured to leverage custom formatting and parsing of markdown content.
As a code block
In some cases (ex: with our official Mermaid block), integrations might want to format custom blocks as code-blocks in Markdown.
In the gitbook-manifest.yaml, define the markdown property for the a block:
blocks:
    - id: block-name
      title: My custom block
      markdown:
        codeblock: blocksyntax
        body: content
In this scenario, a block with the properties { "content": "something" } will be formatted as:
```blocksyntax
something
```
In the scenario where the block also has other properties, those will be set on the codeblock. For example with a block having the properties { "content": "something", "propA": "A" }
```blocksyntax propA="A"
something
```
