Markdowns

Markdowns seem scary initially but think of them as a 'shortcut' to changing the style of your text.

Font size

Lists

Align

Superscripts

Line breaks

 

Markdowns is a lightweight language with plain-text formatting used to change the styling of your text within the EdApp Creator Tool.

Any additional styling requires Custom CSS recommended for advanced authors only.

You can also use the following to specify the size:

Text Alignment

To left-align text:

<p align="left"> ENTER TEXT HERE </p>

You can’t combine alignment with font size markup.

Superscripts

Wrap the text you want to superscript like so:

Normal Text <sup>2TM</sup> 

 

Line Breaks
