Umbraco UFM Component

What is it?

UFM (Umbraco Flavored Markdown) Components extend Umbraco's markdown rendering with custom syntax. They allow you to create custom markers that transform into HTML when rendered. This is useful for creating dynamic content like localized strings, property values, or custom UI elements within markdown text. UFM components use special syntax markers (like # for localization or = for values) that get processed into HTML.
