Markdown Syntax
The following Markdown Syntax options are supported in Dashboards. When your syntax is supported, you will see "Markdown Supported" near the bottom left corner of the text box. Unsupported syntax prevents you from clicking the Submit button.
Images, blockquotes, code blocks, URLs, and email addresses are not supported in the text panels.
Basic text
You do not need to apply any syntax to display basic text. Just type the phrase in the Text box.
Bold/italic text
To make text italic, surround the phrase in * *. For example, *This text will be italic*.

You can combine bold and italic syntax if you'd like.
