You can customize your Personalizations text using markdown. Markdown is a lightweight markup language that is often used for formatting text on the web. It allows users to add formatting to their text without the need for HTML tags. In this article, we will cover some examples of using markdown to personalize text in multi-line fields.

Note: Markdown is only supported in the Multi line field of the form builder.

When to use Markdown

You get started by first adding the Multi line field to your personalization form.

The field has to have the appropriate personalization token chosen.


Once the field is added, enable the Markdown option under the Advanced tab.

Markdowns can be used in both Surf and Immerse pages. A personalization token has to be added to the Doc for the text to get populated.

Personalization token example on Immerse:

Note: There has to be enough space allocated in the Text box widget to see all the populated text.
