Filevine uses a system inspired by “markdown" to format the text in notes, tasks, AutoTasks, and instructions widgets. A range of formatting is available, including bolding, italicizing, formatting as a header, hyperlinks, and more.
Below is a table containing examples of the formatting available for activity items and instructions. Formatting requires specific syntax, so if you are having issues, check the spacing and characters of your text to make sure you've followed the syntax exactly.
| Formatting | Code | Code Example | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| plain | N/A | Here is some plain text. | Here is some plain text. |
| strikethrough | two tildes on either side | ~~some strikethrough~~ | |
| italics | one underscore on either side | _some italic text_ | some italic text |
| bold | two underscores on either side | __some bold text__ | some bold text |
