Allow formatting with Markdown #489
Description
- Nextcloud-Version: 19.0.0
- Forms-Version: 2.0.0-beta4
It would be helpful to allow formatting the text in the description and field names with markdown or HTML. For recent forms I created, I found myself wanted to add emphasis to some text as well as a link or two.

@juliushaertl the dedicated component is not yet available, right? :)

No but work in progress https://github.com/juliushaertl/nextcloud-text/
It already is in kind of a working state except for some node types like images, but needs some more polishing for a first release. Unfortunately I didn't have much time lately.

It's definitely not a priority! Take your time :)

Thanks, @juliushaertl ! Providing a visual text editor component which Forms and other apps can then utilize certainly sounds like a solid approach to satisfy this enhancement request.

Agree that formatting would be nice, I'm not sure if it needs to be (full) markdown. I guess at least most of my needs would be covered by italic and bold.

I would like to add the possibility of adding links. This is useful for something like "I accept the Terms and Conditions" with a link to the document.

To me personally this is the most important issue of this app. I would like to structure longer descriptions. Is the missing part still in progress or are there other options to handle this? Thanks a lot :)

Any news on this, because it would be very useful to have markdown/html support in the description, so we can insert some bold text or even images? :)

I would even go further and propose to have a dedicated editing view which is a markdown file and add to the "standard" markdown, all the form elements as additional markdown syntax including possible configuration options (like mandatory flag, simple input checks, etc.). The presentation view would present the form. This would enable a maximum of flexibility and still allow people to copy/paste snippets of forms from one to another document. You could even keep them in a git repro, or use nextclouds own versioning system.
