markdown

There are other concepts named markdown. See the entire list.

markdown, data type

The markdown data type holds rich text formatted with Markdown. It supports multi-line literals.

m = """Hello **World**"""
show markdown "" with m

Remarks

markdown values can exceed 256 characters and support interpolation. Markdown values can be broadcast to tables, filtered inside where blocks, and selected with conditional expressions. However, markdown values cannot be unfiltered back to an outer scope once defined in a filtered scope.

Templated markdown literals (using \{...} inside a """ literal) are only supported for scalar values or sliced values. Templated markdown is not allowed inside user-defined functions.

table Items = extend.range(2)

Items.Tooltip = if Items.N == 1 then """First item""" else """Other item"""

show table "Items" with
  Items.N
  Items.N { cellTooltip: #[Items.Tooltip] }

Templated markdown literals

Templated markdown literals mix text and expressions inside a multi-line literal. Expressions are formatted as text and injected in place.

total = 42
md = """
Total quantity: \{total}
"""

show markdown "Summary" with md

For sliced dashboards, compute the markdown in the sliced table.

table T[id] = with
  [| as id, as Qty |]
  [| "a", 2 |]
  [| "b", 5 |]

table Slices[slice] = slice by id title: T.id
expect Slices.id = same(id)
Slices.Qty = same(T.Qty)

total = sum(T.Qty)
Slices.Md = """
# \{Slices.id}
Qty: \{Slices.Qty}
Total: \{total}
"""

show markdown "Slice" slices: slice with Slices.Md
