Formatting with Markdown

Good Grants uses a WYSIWYG HTML editor with buttons in the toolbar for formatting. However some basic markdown commands are also supported for those who prefer it.

To allow your applicants to add formatting, navigate to Forms in the Manage workspace, click the ellipsis (three dots) next to the form's name and select Form settings. Then select the Advanced tab and check the box next to Enable editor on multi-line text fields before clicking Save

Note: if you prefer, you can add a row of equal signs (=) under a line of text to create Heading one effect, or a row of dashes (-) under a line of text to create a Heading two effect.
