    Rich text in forms and extensions 

    Note
    It's important to remember that rich text can only be used in forms—when users submit responses to a form—not while creating a form.

    The same rich text paragraph styles and formatting are also available on forms with rich text enabled.

    Markdown rich text output in Airtable's API 

    Airtable supports a Markdown version similar to most other syntaxes but updated for rich text formats. For additional information on writing and formatting with Markdown in Airtable, check out Using Markdown in Airtable.

    For examples of how to use Airtable's API to read or update markdown returned by the API, please see our API documentation. 

    Rich text display:
    Rich text markdown API output:
    "Summary as plain text": "Heading 1\nLearn more with this hyperlink 
in this quote box\nBullet points below\n- This is some italic text and 
some code.\n- And even bold and strikethrough text\nHeading 
2\nOooh! A code block.\nHeading 3\n1. dfsdf\n2. 
dsfds\nCheckboxes\n[x] Do this\n[ ] And this\n"
    Including rich text in a formula:

    If no formatting is necessary, a formula with rich text will result in just the text and line breaks to get an even simpler version of this text. Please note that long text fields with rich text enabled always include a trailing /n character when the text is retrieved via API.
