Text formatting
This page shows the basic text markup. Everything here is standard Markdown (GFM) and also renders correctly on GitHub.
Emphasis
- Bold for controls and admin paths: Save
- Italic for terms being introduced: a notice is a short text on the product page
- Bold and italic – use sparingly
Strikethroughfor information that no longer appliesInline codefor values entered exactly as shown:Delivery within Germany only- Keyboard shortcuts: Ctrl + S saves, Esc closes the dialog
Headings
Level 2 and 3 headings appear in the “On this page” table of contents on the right. The page itself has exactly one level 1 heading – it is the page title.
Level 3 heading
Text below a level 3 heading.
Level 4 heading
Level 4 does not appear in the table of contents by default. The long guide shows how to change that.
Paragraphs and line breaks
A blank line starts a new paragraph. A single line break in the source is joined – these two lines appear as one paragraph.
To force a break within a paragraph, end the line with a backslash:
this line starts anew but belongs to the same paragraph.
Quotes
A quote suits literal messages, e.g. texts the shop displays.
Message in the shop: “This item ships within Germany only.”
Quotes can be nested, too.
Horizontal rule
A horizontal rule visually separates long sections:
Text after the rule.
Footnotes
Footnotes suit side remarks1 that should not interrupt the flow. They are collected at the end of the page2.
Special characters
Typographic characters work directly: “quotation marks”, en dash –, arrow →, ellipsis …, degrees 20 °C, euro €19.99.
Characters with special meaning are escaped with a backslash: *not italic*, # not a heading.
The portal processes Markdown as MDX. A curly bracket or an angle bracket in running text causes a build error. Put such characters in inline code (e.g. {productId}, a < b) or escape them with a backslash: { and <.
