Markdown formatting

You can add a ton of formatting to the text areas on Projects, Improvements, and Incidents, as well as on any of your comments.

This document is intended as a quick reference for how to format your text.

 

Headers

You can format 6 different sizes of headers. Header 1 below is the largest and Header 6 the smallest.

# Header 1
## Header 2
### Header 3
#### Header 4
##### Header 5
###### Header 6

 

Emphasis

You can format 3 kinds of emphasis - italics, bold text, and text with a strikethrough.

*Italicized text*

**Bolded text**

~~Strikethrough text~~

 

Lists

You can format bulleted lists and ordered lists.

 

* parent item 1
  * child item 1
    * child child item
  * child item 2
* parent item 2
  * child item 1

NOTE: To indent an item on a bulleted list, place 2 spaces before its asterisk for each level by which you want to indent it.

 

1. parent item 1
    1. child item 1
        1. child child item 1
        2. child child item 2
    2. child item 2
2. parent item 2
    1. child item 1

NOTE: To indent an item on a numbered list, place 4 spaces before its number for each level by which you want to indent it. Be sure to use the correct number for each item.

 

Links

You can add links in two ways - with the link in-line or with a hyperlink on some text.

<https://a url>

[Text to be displayed](https:// a url)

Tables

You can also add a table with as many rows and columns as you need.

 

| First Header | Second Header |
| ------------- | ------------- |
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |

 

The outer pipes (|) aren’t necessary and you don’t need to make the columns line up prettily.

 

Blockquotes

You can also include blockquotes.

> Quoted text

 

Reformatting Images

You can also resize Images and Chart thumbnails with Text Fields. For more information on how to do this, go to this support page.

• Format options for images include:
  
  
• Pixels
• ^^image.ext | 300^^
• This will be interpreted as width=300, height=300

• ^^image.ext | 300x200^^
• This will be interpreted as width=300, height=200
  
  
• Percentage
• ^^image.ext | 50%^^
• This will be interpreted as width=50%, height=50%
  
• ^^image.ext | 45%x55%^^
• This will be interpreted as width=45%, height=55%

Note: To put two images on one line, use 49% for both images to account for the spacing between the images.
