This Week in Rails is out, and in one of the most notable changes, Action Text now exports rich text as Markdown. `RichText`, `Content`, `Fragment`, and `Attachment` all get a `to_markdown` method, mirroring the existing `to_plain_text`. It handles inline formatting (bold, italic, strikethrough, code), headings, blockquotes, lists, tables, links, code blocks, and more. It also benchmarks ~35% faster than `to_plain_text` - a great option for anyone sending Rails rich text to LLMs or Markdown-based pipelines. Plus: `MissingAttachable` now renders consistently in plain text too, custom content types for HTTP auth challenges, and "open in editor" links fixed for devcontainers & Docker.
