Options
Markdown renders GitHub Flavored Markdown source into Carto-styled HTML — headings, inline formatting, lists, code, quotes, and tables.Basic text
Bold (**text**) and italic (*text*) are standard CommonMark. Standard markdown has no distinct underline syntax, so strikethrough (~~text~~, GitHub Flavored Markdown) is the closest additional emphasis available.
Headings
Four heading levels map toText’s headline sizes: h1 renders hero, h2 renders major, h3 renders substantial, and h4 renders regular. h5 and h6 also render but reuse the regular size, relying on the semantic tag alone to signal depth.
Inline Formatting
Bold, italic, inline code, and links combine freely within a single line of prose.Lists
Unordered and ordered lists nest to any depth. GitHub Flavored Markdown task lists (- [x] / - [ ]) render as read-only checkboxes reflecting each item’s completion — they aren’t interactive.
Code
Inline code uses a tile background. Fenced code blocks (```) render in a bordered surface; Markdown doesn’t syntax-highlight by language.
Quotes
A blockquote (>) indents quoted prose with a leading rule. A horizontal rule (---) separates unrelated sections of content.
