Formatting available in catalog task description field

[dp11]

Hi,

In the description of a catalog task one can use the "\n" for new line. What are the other formatting options available? Can we italicize or make bold or number a list etc.? 

Thanks,

DP

The task table description field (from which all of the extended tables such as sc_task get access to the same field) has the type of string, so no HTML formatting - bold, italic, order/unordered list,... - is available, only new line.

Hello @dp11 ,

you can format text using certain special characters and HTML tags

• New Line: Use \n to insert a new line.
• Bold Text: Use <b>Your Text</b> to make text bold.
• Italic Text: Use <i>Your Text</i> to italicize text.
• Underline Text: Use <u>Your Text</u> to underline text.
• Numbered List:
  <ol>
  <li>First item</li>
  <li>Second item</li>
  </ol>
• Bulleted List:
  <ul>
  <li>First item</li>
  <li>Second item</li>
  </ul>
• Hyperlink: Use <a href="URL">Link Text</a> to create a clickable link.
• Line Break: Use <br> for a line break.
