Formatting text with Markdown

Coleman DA offers Markdown support to format text.
Note: Currently, Markdown support is available to use in Infor OS Portal and Microsoft Teams, with pending functionality in Infor Go. Markdown is not supported for Alexa.

These options are available in a Coleman conversation:

  • Headers: 6 different styles of headers
  • Emphasis: Italics, bolds, or combined bolds
  • Lists: Numbered lists or bullet point lists.
    • A sequential number list is used when a random number is entered.
    • A bullet point is provided if you specify an asterisk (*), minus (-), or plus (+).
    • Add three spaces to indent a line.
  • Hyperlinks: Hyperlinks to external URL.
    • Coleman also supports links to email and phone numbers.
  • Code block: Text formatted as block of code.
  • Table: Text to support a table response.
    • Add at least 3 dashes separating each header cell.
    • Use colons (:) to align columns to be centered or left/right aligned.
    • Outer pipes (|) are optional and will not need to be lined up properly.
  • Blockquote: Format text to emulate e-mail response
  • Image: Display images in the conversation window.

To format text in a skill, you can use these options:
