Add Markdown

Quick guide on how to use markdown to create bold or italics text, code blocks, hyperlinks, and bulleted or numbered lists.

Updated over a week ago

Markdown can be used in Text, Note, Caution, Tables, and Warning content blocks, and is now also supported in Field Inputs and Input References!

Bold Text

Surround the text with two asterisks.

Ex: **bolded text**


Italics

Surround the text with on asterisk.

Ex: *italics text*


Code Blocks

Surround the text with back ticks (not apostrophes.)

Ex: `code block`


Bulleted List

Precede each line with a dash.

Ex:

- First item

- Second item

- Third item


Numbered List

Precede each line with a number followed by a period.

Ex:

1. Item 1

2. Item 2

3. Item 3

Note: The number does not matter. Setting all 3 lines to 1. Item will still list 1. 2. 3.

Due to a limitation with Markdown, if you need to start the list with a number other than 1 and/or change the order of the list at all, you will first need to break the markdown.

You can break the markdown by adding a backslash after the number when editing the Text box:


Hyperlink

Surround the link text in square brackets followed by the url in parentheses.

Note: if the url does not end in ".com" then add the http:// or https:// in the link.

Ex: [Link Text Here](URLhere.com)


Additional instructions regarding markdown can be found here in GitHub Docs.

Markdowns for strikethrough, subscript, and superscript are not currently supported.
