$markdown - Markdown fields

Similarly to the $text keyword, a $markdown field provides a big text area but its content is interpreted as Markdown language or HTML. To help text formatting in Markdown, any field built with this keyword at the definition level provides a Markdown text editor with a specialized toobar at the instance level. For more details on how to edit text on a CoB platform site, we recommend consulting the article on Text Editing available elsewhere on this site. You can also check this cheatsheet containing the most important elements of the Markdown syntax.
