Google docs

Can you use metadata fields in Google Docs? I cannot seem to get it to work.

This isn't a question, but I thought folks should be aware of the new markdown import/export capability in Google Docs. This seems like it could be useful to some Blot users who rely on Google Drive for sync.

I'm trying Google Docs as my post editor ... I want to make a par of text appear as a blockquote, but attempts so far have failed. Tried using Google Docs support for Markdown, using a ">" character at the start of the paragraph, but that didn't work. Next, tried to use Google Docs built-in "indent" command, that didn't work either. Is there another way?

Just started with blot and planned to use google docs as my editor. I guess markdown doesn't work within Google Documents, altough GD understands some md out of the box (e.g. # headline) I played around and couldn't get most of the formatting and features to work. I would really like to stay in gd (even with only md for formatting) for convenience and not need any additional txt editor. Anything I am missing, any settings in blot or docs? Working well: formating based on headlines and line breaks Working semi: links get routed through Google Search (see below); current date based on the doc (but no editing for a future/past pub date possible) Not working: any other formatting (tested: bold, italic, color); tags

Simple formating such as titles in bold and quotes in italics are not appearing in published posts, despite being in source Google Doc. Also not all the "tags", which are in the Google Doc titles, are updating after being amended.

I've set up my blog with my URL and connected to Google Drive. My dashboard shows the test posts I've made and I can view them when i click directly on the dashboard links (however, metadata is displayed in plain text) The front page shows the blog template, but the test posts do not populate to the blog - it's just blank.

Within a post, I want to embed/add a Youtube video in such a way that it can be played right in the post, without going to Youtube. Please let me know how to achieve this. Thank you! I'm using a forked Blog template.
