Markdown – Using Markdown and Meta Data

Using Markdown and Meta Data

Markdown text can be used to format question wording and to format text and within a specific concept instance as metadata to improve the user experience by providing more detailed information about the results Rainbird generates.

Metadata is used to accentuate text in a query. Most of the formatting options listed below can be combined (e.g. bold and italic).

In cases where the formatted text could be interpreted as XML (coding text), the CDATA tag (Character Data) can be added to tell Rainbird to ignore any characters which could be interpreted as XML.
