Markdown

Markdown is used when updating content, landing pages, announcements, or managing your Directory. When using the markdown editor, there will be additional formatting characters in your text box. This will change once saved. There is a preview option when editing to allow you to see how it will look to your members.


When using the Markdown editor, you will see a toolbar at the top of the text box, that allows you to format your text in a variety of different ways.


The first button, the B icon, allows you to Bold your text.

Some Helpful Notes:

  • Everything is left-aligned, including images.

  • You can right-align (or even center) text in a table, but this does not work on images.

  • If making a table, an online table generator can be found here: https://www.tablesgenerator.com/markdown_tables.

  • Images must be set at the proper size before uploading them and include an alt-text (description of the Image). Click the "Image" icon in the Body Content menu bar will appear. Make sure to input the alt-text (ex: 'man holding glass,' 'building,' 'Hospital Health System logo').

The feature is designed to provide additional guidance and information to partner entities, helping to streamline the rotation creation process by reducing the need for additional communication between the partner entities.
