Using Markdown

Markdown is a simple formatting language that is used to format text quickly and easily.
By using ordinary characters and symbols you can, for example, choose to show text in bold, in italic, underlined or as a list. That way you see straight away what the formatting looks like, without needing the specific formatting settings.

In Robaws you can use the Basic Syntax. The Extended Syntax is not supported within Robaws.

Use

In Robaws you can use Markdown to give formatting to item lines or descriptions within all modules. This can be a complete description, but also just a few words within a description that you want to emphasise.

You can find the codes you can use with Markdown via the following link: codes for using Markdown

Using Markdown code in an extended description

Settings

Via settings > general > Pdf you can activate the 'Enable Markdown support' function.

As soon as the 'Enable Markdown support' function is activated, you can no longer use the layout styles you have entered in Robaws. Markdown always takes precedence here.
