Content editor

The content editor in Guides and Surveys supports rich content creation through Markdown and/or HTML, giving you complete control over how your content appears to users. Although the content editor works for the content field, no other fields (for example titles or buttons) are supported.

Markdown support

The description editor supports standard Markdown formatting, allowing you to create rich text content without writing HTML. Use Markdown for:

• **Bold text** and *italic text*
• Headers and subheaders
• Lists (bulleted and numbered)
• Links and images
• Code blocks and inline code

Example Markdown content

## Welcome to our *new* feature!

This **important update** includes:

1. Enhanced performance
2. New user interface
3. Better accessibility

> **Note:** This feature is available to all users.

HTML and inline CSS

For advanced customization, you can use HTML with inline CSS directly in the step description editor. This gives you complete control over styling and layout.

Example HTML with inline CSS

<h2 style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; font-size: 24px; color: blue;">Special Announcement</h2>
<p style="margin: 0; font-size: 16px; background:yellow;">We're excited to share this update with you!</p>

Custom CSS on themes

For more systematic use of custom CSS, you can write custom CSS directly in your themes. Use the CSS selectors provided in the Custom CSS documentation to target specific elements and create cohesive designs across all your guides and surveys.
