1 - Markdown
Markdown is a simple markup language for creating rich formatted text using a text editor. Due to the simplicity of the Markdown it is still very readable in its raw form that contains the markup. Markdown is used in Stroom on the Documentation tab of each Document type and in the Documentation Document type.
Stroom uses the
Showdown
markdown converter to render users’ markdown content into formatted text.
Note
Markdown is a somewhat loose standard so different markdown processors support different amounts of markdown syntax.
For a definitive guide to the syntax supported in Stroom, see the above link.
