How to Use Markdown Language¶
This version does not use Markdown. Text is styled in the block that holds it, and pictures and videos have blocks of their own.
| What you want | Where to do it |
|---|---|
| Bold, italic, underline or strikethrough | The toolbar of a Heading block or a Text block |
| A link inside a sentence | The same toolbar |
| A picture | An Image block |
| A video | A Video block |
| Text size and alignment | The block settings |
See Styling quiz text for every option a block offers.
Markdown styles text through a few plain characters typed around it. Write **bold text** and the customer reads bold text.
The app supports part of Markdown in questions, in choices and on the Results Page.
| What you want | What you type |
|---|---|
| A heading, largest first | # H1, ## H2, ### H3 |
| Italic | *italic text* |
| Bold | **bold text** |
| Bold and italic | ***bold and italic text*** |
| A link | [link title](https://www.example.com) |
| A picture |  |
| A video |  |
Underscores do the same work as asterisks, so _italic text_ is italic as well.
Videos take the picture syntax
Paste a YouTube or Vimeo address where the picture address would go, and the app embeds a player. All four of these forms work.
A video fills the width of whatever holds it, and its height follows a 16:9 ratio. To set a different ratio, or a fixed size, add an attribute after the link.
