Default Page Editor
The default editor in BookStack is a ‘What You See Is What You Get’ (WYSIWYG) editor. The usage of this editor is similar to typical word-processing applications such as Word or Google Docs. For those that would prefer it, there is an alternative Markdown Editor which can be set as default or switched to where permissions allow.
