You can now turn Structured Text fields back into Markdown with our new datocms/structured-text-to-markdown package. Perfect if you need clean Markdown output for your pipelines, exports, or tooling (or just a clean .md page for all the LLMs 🤭).

Just a lil

npm install datocms/structured-text-to-markdown

and you're set!

The renderer supports all DatoCMS Structured Text nodes and converts them to CommonMark-compatible Markdown:

Block Nodes

• Headings: # H1 through ###### H6

• Paragraphs: Plain text with double newlines

• Lists: Both unordered (-) and ordered (1.) lists with nested support

• Blockquotes: Lines prefixed with >

• Code blocks: Fenced code blocks with language support

• Thematic breaks: Horizontal rules (---)

Inline Formatting

• Strong: **bold**

• Emphasis: *italic*

• Code: `code`

• Strikethrough: ~~text~~

• Highlight: ==text== (extended Markdown)

• Underline: <u>text</u> (HTML fallback, no native Markdown)

Links

• Regular links: [text](url)

• Record links: Custom rendering via renderLinkToRecord

Full deets on the package and advanced usage are on the README.
