Originally this wish started with wanting to display clean hyperlinks in schedule value fields. Currently, when displaying hyperlinks in schedules, a PDF publishing of it results in the displaying of the full text of the hyperlink. It is mostly functional on the PDF side, BUT... , if it becomes truncated or wrapped, the results become unpredictable. To make the links work, evidently the entire text of the link must be visible. This results in long, unsightly text strings which detract from the intended conveyance of information.
Markdown Syntax, being lightweight, can be a valuable feature during documentation. The resulting PDF and BIMx files can become more readable and uncluttered. For example, the full hyperlink text for this page while I'm composing this wish, is
"https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/wishlist?message-subject=Integrated%20Markdown%20Syntax%20in%20Texts,%20Labels,%20Schedule%20Value%20Fields,%20Property%20Value%20Fields,%20etc." .. imagine having that in a 5cm-wide schedule field...
With Markdown Syntax - [Friendly Text](full hyperlink text) - you'd see only the Friendly Text, and when clicked it would open the hyperlink page in a browser.
There are other useful features of this syntax (see the attached image, or search "markdown syntax guide" for the full list). This functionality can be extended to Text, Label, Property values, or any other text-containing element types.
I propose that Markdown Syntax be integrated in all text-containing element types in ArchiCAD. I think the hyperlink feature alone would be worth it.
Thank you for considering.
