Use Markdown Format and page breaks in PDF Templates

[ulat]

Is there a way to use markdown in the description field of quotes? I would like to insert larger descriptions of planned projects in quotes. I have added a textfield for the description but I cannot use any format there. Is there a way to use markdown in textfields that's correctly formatted when generating pdfs?

How can I add page breaks in pdf-templates?

Thnkas for you help!

There is a thorough manual for PDF.

Textfields: https://docs.espocrm.com/user-guide/...df/#text-field
I don`t remember, if that displays markdown in the PDF, try it (triple braces).

Pagebreak: https://docs.espocrm.com/user-guide/...#page-breaking
If you want the break on a certain place to not break a record within an each iterator, you can use:

<tr style="page-break-inside: avoid;"> for starting the each table.

Be aware to create PDF Templates only in the code view, the WYSIWYG often messes up. These hints work in TCPDF engine, I did not test with DOMPDF.

I can use markdown in Textfields and the markdown is rendered on the userinterface. But if I generate a pdf document, the pdf contains the raw markdown text without format. Is there a way to convert markdown text content to pdf?

Did you try to use triple brackets for the markdown fields? {{{markdown}}}

Yes, I use triple brackets....
