Hi there,

To create bold text in a Rich text field using Markdown, you can use either text or text syntax. While the Rich text field supports Markdown formatting, please note that copying content from Microsoft Word may cause formatting issues. To avoid this, you can either:

• Type your Markdown syntax directly in the Rich text field
• Use Google Docs as an intermediate step when copying content from other sources

The Rich text field also supports other Markdown formatting options like italics (text) and bullet points for clean, consistent formatting across your site.

Hopefully this helps! If you still need assistance, please reply here so somebody from the community can help.

Two things;

  1. I’m fairly certain the MD support is a UX capability only.
  2. The spaces will confuse the realtime MD parser as to what you’re wanting. Try typing **bold** in a rich text element instead.

Works fine in the CMS rich text field as well;

If you’re trying to CSV import it, I doubt it will work. API likely as well but you can try it out. It’s an entry convenience only. Pre-process your MD to HTML if you are API-integrating or batch-loading content.
