Markdown is a rich text editor which allows you to add code into a KB in order to create items such as tables. In order to use this option, change the article type to Markdown from the Type drop-down menu.
After this, you can paste code into the KB or write it out. Please see below for a webpage with common code elements that can be added in.
Click the eye icon on the top right of the menu box in order to view the KB with the markdown code applied.
Click the / icon in brackets to return to editing mode.
Note 1: Bolded headers currently don’t work correctly in Halo.
Note 2: Adding in < br > (with no spaces between letters and brackets) adds a line break to the table.
Please see below for an example of table coding.
