Laravel markdown mail vs blade templating

Question

In laravel, new markdown feature for mailing provides some components to customize mail. I like them. They are cool but how are they different from blade layout as long as I can do the same with normal blade layout.

Answer 1

Markdown email gives you a simplified syntax compared to HTML. For example:

• instead of wrapping headings in h1 , h2 , etc. tags, you can just put a # , ## , etc. at the beginning of the line
• no need to wrap lists in <ul> , and list items in <li> tags. In markdown, you can just use a dash ( - ) for listing elements
• italic/bold font can be achieved by putting * / ** around the text you want to emphasize

The above, and other features of markdown can make your templates more readable.
