Listen, I love Markdown. It's 50% of the reason why I started Buttondown: I wanted to be able to draft emails easily with as little markup as possible.

But not everyone does! It's weird, and if you're not technical you probably haven't had too much exposure to it.

Which is why I'm happy to announce one of the most heavily requested features of all time: a simple, elegant toolbar to assist with marking up your email if you're not comfortable with writing Markdown by hand.

It pops right up, just hit the ol' "Show toolbar" toggle and feast your eyes!
