Using markdown

Markdown uses a very simple formatting syntax to accomplish the same thing that HTML or Rich Text Formatting does. The difference is that it's simpler than HTML and you don't have to worry about opening and closing tags.

CoachingCloud supports markdown in the MindLab area giving you more control over the page. We ask you to remember that CoachingCloud is responsive - meaning that it works on mobile devices as well as any browser width. With this in mind you should not use any fixed size objects within your markdown and test it on your mobile device.

There are many fee markdown editors available both for download and to use online. We like the online editor StackEdit. Ceate your content with the editor adding your markdown formatting then cut and paste the markdown code back into your module. There is also a new professional markdown editor called Classeur.
