Docs tab vs. long description

There are two places where you can enter markdown content to help educate your API consumers. Feel free to use either or both options.

The Docs Tab in Studio (discussed here) is used to display markdown on the About tab of the API's listing (under README).

The long description contains markdown that is displayed under the short description on the Endpoints tab of the API's listing.

While both the long description and the Docs tab README accepts markdown, only the Docs tab includes a visual markdown editor. If desired, you can visually create any content on the Docs tab and copy it to the long description area.
