Enable or Disable built-in macros

This section covers enabling or disabling the Tiny Editors built-in macros: useful text styling macros.

  1. Using a plain text editor, open config/config.js in the extracted Tiny Editors for HCL Connections package.

    Note

    Use a plain text editor to avoid inserting invalid formatting or symbols into config.js. Do not use a rich text editor such as Microsoft Word for editing configuration files.

  2. Locate the property macros, and set the following sub-properties to true to enable and false to disable.

    Macro Effect (short)
    headings Create headings from lines prefixed with #
    lists Create ordered and unordered lists from list prefixes
    semantics Bold and italic styling using Markdown-like syntax
    hr Insert a horizontal rule when a line contains ---
    link Convert URL-like text into hyperlinks
    entities Replace shorthand sequences with HTML entities (for example (c) → ©, -- → —)

    Examples

    Headings

    # heading 1
## heading 2
### heading 3
