I think JB is due to some clients needing a WYSIWYG editor.

I've fully transitioned to this for the same reasons @JaredBusch did. Easier for users.

Is there a way to stop showing previews?
Is there a way to collapse text in Bookstack using markdown?

Never looked.
I do not know of any markdown commands to do that.

Oh ok. Ya if you need users to do something then that makes sense.

When using WYSIWYG for your page editor, click on source code
and add this code. It also works when using Markdown too.

## collapsible markdown?

<details><summary>CLICK ME</summary>
<p>
Hello World
</p>
</details>

JaredBusch

Does that work here?

Collapse test:

<details>
<summary>CLICK ME</summary>
<p>
Hello World
</p>
</details>

JaredBusch

Nope.

I usually use just plaintext filed nested in folders... other mainstream solutions?

That's basically all DokuWiki is

I use Grav. I don't have users documenting anything so it's awesome for us. It's all markdown and it's all flat file based, no databases.

Yes, lots of Wiki systems exist and work well. But if entry is a style that your users cannot handle, it will not be used. If it is not used, it is worthless.

Grav looks pretty sweet. There are so many solutions out there.

Yeah Grav with GIT would be my go-to if I didn't have so many requirements.
