Markdown inspired GDL text object for keynotes

Davor P — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 07:59:42 GMT

I tried using keynotes and when I needed some bold text styling obvious choice was to encode it in markdown style. One thing led to another...

I'm confused.

Is this an object you have created that you are advertising?

We develop things that we believe benefit the Archicad community, and I posted this because I thought the markdown-style approach to formatting keynote text might be interesting and useful to other Archicad users.

If you’re asking because there’s a particular forum rule around sharing tools or objects we’ve developed ourselves, please let me know and I’m happy to make sure the post complies.

Feel free to share but there is nothing in your post that says it is something you have developed and you want to share it.

It could be something developed by someone else that you have fond somewhere - except I noticed your avatar and the logo in the object are the same.

There is no description of what it does except for the sample image and no links to where it can be found except for the web address in your signature.

I will also move this post to the General Discussions forum where it can be labelled as an AD.

I will seek clarification at the next moderators meeting as to where these advertising posts should go.

General discussions is the only forum that can be labelled as an "AD" but it makes sense an object like this could be in Libraries & Objects, or Documentation, or even the GDL forum.
