You can see this hidden world by creating a Pages or Word document, typing “Hello World” and saving, then changing the extension to. What we see may please us, but below the surface our word processor secretly builds a more complex text in code. We can use bold, italics, different fonts and formatting, and we see them right there on our screen! When introduced this was a revolution compared to clunky “Reveal codes”-based formatting, or no formatting at all. rtf is famous for its promise of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). So what are the strengths and shortcomings of Rich Text, Plain Text and Markdown 1 in this diverse writing landscape? 1. Plain text does better, but lacks Rich Text’s formatting. Stubborn proprietary file formats fail in this frantic new environment. Today, it is written and edited on multiple devices and apps, then mailed, printed, copied, pasted, annotated, published, RSSed, shared and re-shared, using all kinds of tools and platforms. for those who wish to add their own flavor.In the classic era of word processing, text was born between MS Word and a printer. There are many website-building platforms that allow a total WYSIWYG website development with options to add HTML/CSS etc. Word and PowerPoint have many advanced features such as mail merge/ slide automation and so on that can be optionally used. Both elementary and advanced users use a spreadsheet as per their needs from simple to- do list to spreadsheet-based inventory management and dashboards and now as a backend database for mobile apps. One could use Excel or Gsheet on its own with just simple to complex spreadsheet formulas and also take it to next level with VBA or GAS. I think that principle is used by many widely used office and work automation platforms.
#Difference between rich text and plain text code
In my humble opinion, in general, a no-code and low code or even high code could exist together and serve well for all users. You are correct, this feature is more towards low code. This will be leaving appsheet bit more low-code platform rather than no-code services from my point of view. Honestly, I simply expected that WYSIWYG type of interface will be added for richer text experiences rather than asking for app users to directly type HTML or markdown where majority of appsheet app user are no-code people. Edit the App Formula to use the CONCATENATE formula to combine HTML tags with column values.Create a virtual column and set its column type to LongText and formatting to HTML.Heading, bold, italic, blockquote, ordered list, unordered list, inline code, code block, horizontal rule, link and image. What are the supported Markdown elements? will be removed and will not have any effect). All other attributes will be removed (for example, inline styles such as A red paragraph.Unsupported tags will be rendered as plain text.The column type must be set to LongText with the format set to HTML or Markdown. Currently rich-formatted text will only be rendered in Detail views - all other views will display plain text.
