### 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 😊 (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](https://help.obsidian.md/bases/views#Copy+to+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.
