Thanks for your reply and additional information josch87 - much appreciated.
We are always looking for user input regarding our website so I will make sure your comments are passed along to our dev team - thank you for this feedback.
In addition, Dropbox Paper is a collaborative workspace that helps your team grow ideas together. Paper is freely available to all Dropbox users, and you can start using it by heading to https://paper.dropbox.com.
I know it's not exactly you're looking for, yet, it has many capabilities and features that might help achieve what you like eventually (on any Paper doc, click on the keyboard icon to see more info about the formatting options etc.)
If there's anything I can do to help in the meantime, please let me know.
