FAQ

How do I paste Markdown into Ghost?

Formatio converts your content into clean HTML that Ghost's Koenig editor accepts. Copy the formatted output and paste it into a Ghost post. Image captions become figure/figcaption markup, and embed URLs are highlighted so you can paste them on their own line for Ghost auto-embeds.

Does Formatio support Ghost cards?

Formatio outputs card-friendly HTML: image figures with captions and embed hints for YouTube, Twitter/X, Vimeo, and CodePen. Ghost will auto-embed many URLs when they appear on their own line.

Is my content uploaded to a server?

Formatting runs in your browser. Drafts stay in local storage. Optional AI polish/translate features use a secure proxy and only send the text you choose to process.

Do my image captions carry over to Ghost?

Alt text on your images becomes a figcaption inside the kg-image-card figure markup, so captions appear as soon as you paste.

Should I paste HTML or Markdown into Ghost?

Paste Formatio's rich HTML output. Ghost's Koenig editor converts clean semantic HTML into native cards (images, embeds, quotes) more reliably than raw Markdown text.
