Summary
In this guide we will show you how to use the text formatting / markdown features. Throughout Moves+, you'll have the ability to style and format your plain text, ensuring it stands out when users view it in the app.
Text formatting: Markdown
You can use markdown features for:
- Group/Challenge/Reward descriptions;
- Group posts;
- Terms of service (in settings); and
- Push notifications.
Anywhere that you see Body (Simple) the text will appear as normal for users. Anywhere you see Body (Full) you have the option to apply markdown features by simply highlighting the applicable text and clicking on the markdown icon that you wish to apply.
Markdown features include:
- Bold
- Italics
- Strikethrough
- Headers
- Links - you must include the full web-address for the link (e.g., https://www.google.co.uk). You can test the link works before you save (just use the eye 'preview' icon and click the link).
- Images - these will render across the full width of the user's phone screen if you use an image that is 500px x 333px or larger. If you use a smaller image, it will appear smaller on the user's phone.
We recommend using the eye 'preview’ icon to preview how the text will appear on the app before saving.
The preview will show you how markdown text will be displayed to the user:
