EDIT: mistake in my original post. I meant to refer to the cooked field, not the raw field (CORRECTED). I recently acquired some JSON data from a discourse forum, where the post data is in the “cooked” form. I was wondering if there is anyway to convert this back to the Markdown? I am new to Discou…
