Novem markdown comes in two flavours, simple and advanced.

Simple markdown includes everything all features listed below and can be used everywhere you use text on the novem platform. This includes chart and table data, configurations, as well as captions, titles, descriptions and names.

Advanced markdown extends simple markdown, adding more advanced features. Advanced markdown is only usable in document and e-mail content files.

Advanced Markdown

With advanced markdown, novem is expanding on the more classic markdown syntax by adding blocks with special meaning. These blocks allow you to control additional aspects of your visualisation, for example by including plots in e-mails or pages in reports.

Sections

Novem markdown has a special multi line construct called a section. The section start with {{ followed by a type. You can then provide a set of options in yaml format before closing the section with }}.

{{ section
  option name: value
}}

Examples of this would be page breaks, callouts, visualisations or images.

Some more complex sections allows both a start and closing section such as a callout, in this case the callout section is closed with a leading /.

example:

{{ callout
  type: warn
  border: none
}}
