Knowledge Base: How do i apply text formatting to my content?


LabelEd allows certain fields to be formatted using Markdown syntax. The full Markdown feature set is supported, except for manual HTML.

Headers

Headers can be created by prefixing your header text with hashes, with the number corresponding to the level of header.

# This is an H1  
## This is an H2  
###### This is an H6  

Paragraphs and new lines

A paragraph is simply one or more consecutive lines of text, separated by one or more blank lines. (A blank line is any line that looks like a blank line — a line containing nothing but spaces or tabs is considered blank.)

To insert a manual line break (<br />) inside a paragraph, end a line with two or more spaces, then press return.

Bold & Italics

To use bold or italic text, you use asterisks (*) and underscores (_)

*single asterisks*

Produces italic text: single asterisks

**double asterisks**

Produces bold text: double asterisks

Links

To add a link, use the following:

[Example](http://example.com)

Produces Example

[E-mail us](mailto:address@example.com)

Produces E-mail us

Horizontal rules

You can produce a horizontal rule tag by placing three or more hyphens, asterisks, or underscores on a line by themselves. If you wish, you may use spaces between the hyphens or asterisks. Each of the following lines will produce a horizontal rule:

* * *  
***  
*****  
- - -

Lists

Unordered lists use asterisks, pluses, and hyphens — interchangably — as list markers:

* Red  
* Green  
* Blue  

Ordered lists use numbers followed by periods:

1. Red  
2. Green  
3. Blue  

Please note that lists must be proceeded by a blank line to differentiate them from any previous paragraph.

Images

Inline images can be placed inside content areas using the following syntax:

![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg)
![Alt text](/path/to/img.jpg "Optional title")

That is:

  • An exclamation mark: !;
  • followed by a set of square brackets, containing the alt attribute text for the image;
  • followed by a set of parentheses, containing the URL or path to the image, and an optional title attribute enclosed in double or single quotes.
