Rich Text Field Markdown Cheatsheet
tldr; Rich Text Fields use Markdown
I was writing a solution to a User Request problem into our homebuilt ticketing system. It has to do with applying '_curuser_' to a custom Role permission. I noticed that as soon as I hit space after the last underscore, the text changed. This is unexpected behavior and in this case undesireable, I want to maintain the syntax of the custom rule.
Today I learned something new and want to share it in case like me you had no idea this would happen. If you type certain characters in a specific order into a Rich Text field, the text changes formatting. Below is a table of all the examples I could find. The left column is preceded and ended by a single quote which causes the text to stay unchanged. The right column is the same syntaxt without the single quotes, note how the formatting is changed.
~ since this Website won't allow some of the characters I inserted an image, sorry to those who like to copy and paste for thier own notes.
Interesting. I tried to get my team to use markdown syntax, but it never seemed to be supported, no matter what we tried. Is this a new development in RTFs? Even in pipelines there used to be notation for markdown support, but that hasn't been present for some time.
