    Using Markdown and HR in text fields

    Hi I use a lot of Markdown in text fields to make them easier to read.

    The Markdown syntax for a horizontal line (Horizontal Rule) is the string "---".

    When I use this string, nothing is shown in the text field. When I inspect the element I can see that it is creating the HTML tag <HR> as needed, so it is there, it just cannot be seen.

    I am guessing this is a colouring issue, i.e. white line on white background.

    Could you investigate please?

    Thanks

      Hi, thanks for the feedback. This generates a few points.
      1. Is there a list anywhere of what markdown is supported, the "i" next to the text field only lists a small subset
      2. Both --- and ___ are mapped to <hr> when I look at the generated output, the issue is that colour is wrong so they don't display.
      Below you can see the generated HTML from the text element.

      And here is the full screen where you can see the HR is displayed, but not visible:

        Yes, seams this tag is well shown on Hazyblue and Classic themes

          Ah, so it is a theme issue. It is possible to get the "Vertical Sakura" theme updated so that HR shows?

          I have different systems that I use so have different colours for them to ensure I don't get confused.

          Thanks.
