When creating a post via the API, is it poss to use:

- Markdown
- Create bookmarks  
Or do you have to HTTP POST 100% HTML?

Also is there any API calls to perform the bookmark generation. i.e if I do have to submit 100% HTML, are there any helpers to assist.

Thanks,

It’s possible to use markdown if you wrap it in [a card](https://ghost.org/docs/api/v3/migration/content/#converting-markdown).
