Content editor

The content editor in Guides and Surveys supports rich content creation through Markdown and HTML, giving you control over how your content appears to users. The content editor works for the content field only. Other fields, such as titles or buttons, aren't supported.

Markdown support

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

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

Example Markdown content

> **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. HTML with inline CSS gives you 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 in the Custom CSS documentation to target specific elements and create cohesive designs across all your guides and surveys.
