Markdown in bases

What I’m trying to do

Is there a way to render Markdown in Table view cells? I want to combine a few properties into a single cell and add some formatting to it.

Things I have tried

  • Using concat cunstion
  • Adding raw markdown to properties.

“Formula properties” within a base only output plain text at the moment :blush: (AFAIK)
(i.e.: there’s no formatting, no rendering of links, etc…)

What kind of inline formatting you want to achieve? Usually this kind of stuff is done using a spreadsheet software. You can export base tables using system clipboard.

using spreadsheet software wouldn’t be useful. you’d have to manually update it every time you change something in your vault. better to keep things in the same ecosystem I think

+1.

I want some basic markdown text support in front matter. For example, link with text e.g. “[[link]] text”, bullet point listing, bold, highlight etc.

Couple implementation route I can think of.

  1. Function approach

This is a base specific. Create a function such as render_markdown(property_name).

  1. Property type

Add new property type e.g. MD Text. When this is selected, the property content will be processed using MD format.
