Feature Request: Toggle between parsed and raw Markdown

[Szorcu]

Description

It would be great to have an official way to toggle between parsed and raw Markdown inside a single TipTap editor.

Today, this requires rendering a separate input for the raw Markdown view and converting back and forth, which means losing core TipTap features in raw mode (history, undo/redo, keymaps, extensions, etc.).

This could potentially be exposed as a simple editor option, e.g. a contentType like raw / string, allowing the same editor instance to switch between parsed and raw Markdown views.

Use Case

Some of our clients explicitly request this feature. For certain users, editing raw Markdown is faster and more convenient, while others prefer the parsed view. Being able to toggle between both is an important requirement for us.

Type

New Tiptap API

I think this is out of scope for Tiptap. Tiptap is meant as a rich-text editor, not a inline markdown editor. What you're looking for is a custom implementation where Tiptap is replaced either with a simple textarea element OR a CodeMirror-based editor with Markdown syntax.

People very often confuse Tiptap with a code-based Markdown editor, so I want to make sure to clear up that confusion. It's also why Marijn separated ProseMirror from CodeMirror.

Alright, got it. Thanks for your time, though!

If anything changes, I'd be happy to help with this feature 😇
