Hello!

We want to add a Markdown text (with a guideline to end users) in page designer, and we wish to format the text and/or the background. TechDocs has a limited description of Markdown Text with regards to formatting, but in the example from page Balance Transfer Log, the markdown has yellow background:

 

However, when I am using page designer to add markdown text, I dont have any other options than to alter the text itself - no formatting options.

Are there any possibilites for formatting the text and/or background - and if so - how?

Best regards,

Henning

Hi,

The yellow background you see here is not part of the markdown itself. It is an emphasis setting applied to the markdown control. Unfortunately, emphasis for markdown control is not currently configurable.

The Page Designer does not currently provide a built-in markdown editor for markdown control types. As you mentioned, you are left entering markdown as plain text in the small input field. For a better experience, you can use an external markdown editor and then paste the text into the field. However, if you choose this approach, please remember to manually replace line breaks with \r\n before pasting. Aside from this adjustment, the markdown syntax can be mixed into the text as usual.

As an addition to this, I can inform than standard HTML tags also works, inluding semantic and styling tags. And also emojis, if you feel like it.

Ex:

If you want this text formatted like this in bigger text (header 2)

write:

<h2>If you want this text <b>formatted</b> like this in bigger text (header 2)</h2>
