Markdown syntax

Markdown provides a simple way to format content using plain text syntax. Use Markdown to apply basic text styling, insert links, and add images by using a small set of intuitive symbols that render consistently across supported ServiceNow CPQ experiences.

Text formatting

Add asterisks or underscores around the text to bold or italicize.

  • A single layer of marks italicizes: *italic* or _italic_
  • A double layer of marks emboldens: **bold** or __bold__
  • A triple layer both italicizes and emboldens: ***bold and italic*** or ___bold and italic___

The following syntax creates a clickable URL:

[link text](URL)

[The ServiceNow home page](https://www.servicenow.com/)

Images

The following syntax inserts images via a URL:

![alt text](image URL)
