Rich Text in Clipboard

Some fields in Clipboard support rich, formatted text, with markdown

Do you want to show a bit more than just plain text in a particular field in Clipboard? For example, using bold and italics, showing a bullet list or a formatted link? Read on to see which fields support this and how you can do it.

Which fields support rich text?

The current fields that support being able to show rich text are:

  • Activity Selection description

  • Medical Conditions

  • (More to come in the future)

Currently, rich text in Clipboard does not support:

  • Student & parent notes

  • Staff Notes

Note: These fields do still support hyperlinks

How does it look?

Here is an example of an Activity Selection description using rich text in Clipboard. The section in the red box is custom rich text.

How does it work?

Clipboard supports rich text using "markdown" for formatting. Markdown is a simple way to format text to do things like bold, formatted links, lists and more.

Some of the main elements you might want to include are here:
