Basic Formatting

Basic text formatting like bold, italic, strikethrough and underline are supported. These can be combined. Links are supported, both to external pages and other docs in the folder. Text color and highlighting are not supported. (You won’t see them being colored!) In addition, the font of text will not affect the font on the Library website (Library always renders body in Lora).

You can use bulleted lists:

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

Numbered lists:

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

And nested/combined list styles:

Item 1

Item 1.1
Item 1.2

Item 2

Item 2.1
Item 2.2

Item 2.2.1

Extended bullet styles are supported

Here is a sub-bullet

Tables

Tables are supported and can contain text formats. Coloring and highlighting, however, is removed. See the example below:

// Special characters are of course allowed in code blocks
var specialChars = "&nbsp;";

// Smart quoting inserted by Google Docs is scrubbed
// If you need a smart quote inside a code block literal,
// you'll need to use HTML entity instead ("&ldquo;")
var singleQuotedStr = 'str'; var doubleQuotedStr = "str";

Here is a code word. Perfect for explaining technical reference, such as file or folder name extension.js, or maybe a path to something /docs_old/src/server/getAndParseGoogleDoc.

Images

As are inline images:

Images will shrink to fit the column width, but won’t be scaled up if they are smaller:

The full set of headers are supported. Please note that any text styled under Heading 1 and Heading 2 will be automatically inserted into the Table of Content sidebar. However, this does not apply to Heading 3, Heading 4, and Heading 5. You might want to be mindful on structuring your page so that it looks great as a guide.

Heading 1

Some text under heading 1.

Heading 2

Some text under heading 2.

Heading 3

Some text under heading 3.

Heading 4

Some text under heading 4.

Heading 5

Some text under heading 5.

Comments will be stripped from the reader-facing page.

Advanced Features

If ALLOW_INLINE_CODE is enabled, you can add fenced code into your google doc to be rendered directly to the DOM.
