R1020: Markdown Samples (for beginners)

 

These are samples of basic Markdown notation that can be used in Questetra.

Markdown is a lightweight markup language. You can express headings, lists, links, and emphasised text using simple combinations of symbols and characters—for example, # followed by  (a space) at the start of a line will be converted to a heading.

In Questetra, you can use Markdown in various functions, including String-type (Markdown) data items. These functions display sentences written with Markdown notation in a visually easy-to-read format. You can also preview the results as you type.

This reference explains basic Markdown notation; for full information on the notation available in Questetra, please see R1021: Markdown Samples (for experts).

List (ordered)

List (ordered)

To create an ordered list, write a number followed by ., followed by (a space), and then the item. When displayed, the numbers will automatically be incremented. To create a lower level, add three spaces before the number. If you change the number of the first item in the same level, it will start from that number when displayed.

You can also mix ordered and unordered lists.

1. Item
   1. Sub-item
