Markup language

This page is OBSOLETE. New version can be found here.

NorfelloCMMS uses a simple markup language that can be used to format text in description fields and messages bodies.

Usage

Text can be formated by inserting formating marks manually or by clicking on the markup buttons on top of the text areas that use the language.

Headings

You can use six levels of headings. Here's an example of creating headings using the markup language:

- This is level 1 heading -

-- This is level 2 heading --

--- This is level 3 heading ---

Bold, italic and underlined text

Text can be marked as bold by surrounding it with '*' characters. Italic works the same way but the character is ' (single quote). Underlining uses the '_' characters.

The following word is *bold*, and the next is 'italic'. 
This word is _underlined_.

Lists

You can create ordered lists with the '#' character as shown below:

# This is the first item
# And this one is second
## This item is under the second one
## And so is this
# This is the third item

Unordered lists use the same syntax but the character is '*'.

Links

You can create links to reports by surrounding the report ID with brackets. Work orders use similar syntax but the ID is surrounded with braces. IDs for attached files should be surrounded with angle brackets. Below is an example of all three link types:

See report [123] and work order {321}. The attached file
<452> might also be useful. 

You can also create links to assets by using the full code in the text:

See asset EC-DMZ-SMTP.

Creating links from URLs

You can also insert urls for the view pages in the text. They get converted to appropriate report, work order, attachment or asset links automatically. This way you can copy the link address from some page and directly paste it into the text.

Hypertext links

You can create links to web pages etc as shown below:
