Markdown Syntax

The following Markdown Syntax options are supported in Dashboards. When your syntax is supported, you will see "Markdown Supported" near the bottom left corner of the text box. Unsupported syntax prevents you from clicking the Submit button.

Images in Text Panels are not supported.

Basic text

You don't need to apply any syntax to display basic text. Just type the phrase in the Text box.

Bold/italic text

To make text italic, surround the phrase in * *. For example, *This text will be italic*.

To make text bold, surround the phrase in ** **. For example, **This text will be bold**.

You can combine bold and italic syntax if you'd like.

Code formatting/block

To make a snippet of text display as code, surround the phrase with: ‘ ‘
