Formatted text is supported on Web Apps and and CommCare for Android (not on CommCare for Feature Phones). Formatting is done by using special markup symbols in labels in the form builder. Our formatting is based on a text format standard called Markdown.

Additional Notes

Variations

...

You can make a phone number in display text clickable using the following syntax: "[NUMBER](tel:NUMBER)" (i.e. "[+1-800-888-8888](tel:+1-800-888-8888)")

Other Considerations

• Formatted label text will only work on CommCare mobile 2.20 or above. Older versions of CommCare will show the text with the markup
• Old apps will, by default, not use rich formatting until you go in and manually update the label text
• At the moment we do not support doubly nested lists
• To turn off Text Formatting for the entire form:
  • Click "Tools" -> "Form Properties"
  • Click the checkbox for "Disable Text Formatting"
• This feature is not available on hint texts
