Set It in Roq: The Editor that change the game!

Set It in Roq: The Editor that change the game!

2026, Feb 01    

Roq started as a solid foundation for building modern apps and static sites. But now, it’s leveling up in a big way. With the introduction of a TipTap-powered Editor with Markdown support, Roq is no longer just an SSG tool, it’s stepping into CMS territory.

Why This Is a Big Deal

Until now, writers had to:

  • Use an IDE or a text editor.
  • Manually create new article files.
  • Manually open the article preview.
  • Use Markdown as code

Now, with Roq’s built-in editor:

  • Native integration: all integrated in Quarkus dev experience.
  • Rich Text Editor with Markdown support: write your content in a notion like editor, render beautifully.
  • Preview article: directly from the editor or using a new tab.

This makes Roq feel less like a static site generator and more like a developer-friendly CMS, closer to the flexibility of WordPress — but without the heavyness.

Key Features

  • Rich formatting: Bold, italic, headings, lists.
  • Markdown support: Switch between rich text and Markdown seamlessly.
  • Code editor with syntax highlighting: For HTML and AsciiDoc content.
  • Media embedding: Images, links, and more.

How to Try It (BETA)

We’ve tested the editor in many different scenarios to ensure it’s safe to use. That said, it’s still in Beta, and it will need a few more weeks before it’s fully ready. In the meantime, make sure you always review the diffs before merging any content.

The editor is natively integrated into Roq 2.1.0.BETA2. Until the final release is available, you’ll need to set this version manually in your pom.xml.
