Details

Markdown is currently implemented for HTML, Word, Powerpoint, RTF, LaTeX and on-screen display. Word requires the ftExtra package.

Most formats use commonmark, with the "strikethrough" extension enabled.

The following features are intended to work:

• bold and italic text

• strikethrough (write ~~text~~ to strike through text).

• hyperlinks

There are some quirks:

• Paragraph-level properties (e.g. lists) won't work in Word.

• Strikethrough will probably not work in Word.

• To make lists work in LaTeX, set width() and ensure wrap() is TRUE.

• Inline images in RTF work using the INCLUDEPICTURE field type.

If you try to use markdown tables within a table cell, then seek psychiatric help.

set_markdown(jams, 3, 2)
