The change preserves information such as image URLs and a number line's starting value, making it easier for content creators to move or duplicate widgets. ### Source excerpt By Sam Lau The Result I'll skip to the happy ending.

You can find the original version on Contentful's blog here. You can also watch Jesse's talk that inspired this post. A year ago, we relaunched the Clue website as an encyclopedia for women and people with cycles. Clue's first product is a period tracker app, which is used by over 10 million people to track their symptoms and learn about patterns in their reproductive health. With the website relaunch, we put all of our content together in one organized place where people could more easily get the information they want. Here's an example of some of our encyclopedic content. This is one of our most popular articles, which explains what the significance of period blood color is. (Spoiler alert: it's not that significant.) We have a ton of articles like these. Lately, we've been thinking that our readers might be better served by interactive content that does more showing and less telling. Another of our top 10 most popular articles is titled, "What is the clitoris?". The article goes into detail about the anatomical structure of the clitoris, but the entire article was just text. We thought we could do better and asked ourselves: what if, as you scroll through and read about the different parts of the clitoris, an illustration would highlight the parts being discussed so you could really get what you're reading about?

This field contains a bunch of text in the clitoris article, but we wanted to figure out how to get a plain text field to also include interactivity. Our first attempt at this was to extend Markdown's syntax using the concept of "shortcodes." Basically, this means inserting an HTML comment in the middle of the article body, with special syntax inside of it that refers to an interactive piece. Our Markdown renderer would pick up
