I can’t work out how to get a paragraph space to show up on the app from a cell? Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks so much 😃 ---

Are you using a rich text component? ---

Sorry I don’t know what you mean by a “rich text component?” ---

Use CHAR(10). So in this example, =“\* Text on line 1”&CHAR(10)&”\* Text on line 2” Would give you a markdown bullet list if you add the component as rich text.i.e. - Text on line 1 - Text on line 2 ---

I’d suggest you use dillinger for creating your rich text and selecting RICH TEXT (instead of plain text) in Glide, when calling that field. ---

If you are typing directly in the Google Sheet you need to use CTRL-Enter to get a new line. If you want a space between those line breaks you need to put 3 spaces at the end of the line. Then in Glide you need to select the Rich Text component, as @Jeff_Hager said, when you add that column to your detail page. ---

Just curious, but why is it 3 spaces at end of line when Markdown normally only requires 2 to invoke a break? ---

I believe I heard that on here from David, but maybe 2 will work as well. Before working with Glide I never used markdown so it’s all new to me. It’s hard to see how many you actually entered, no matter how they make it to the cell, so I guess I will stick with 3 just to have an extra in case I fat fingered it. 🙂 ---

Cheers. I’ve used Markdown for years so it’s nice to see it supported in Glide. One thing I have noticed though is that when you construct the contents of a cell via formulas rather than pure text entry, it’s not possible to get Glide to acknowledge multiple line breaks. So although you can use multiple CHAR(10)s and even add in &" " a few times, Glide will never go further than adding one new line in the app, despite the cell in Sheets rendering as you would expect. Not a major issue, but it’s definitely not WYSIWYG using this approach. ---

I’m not sure if there is a way in Markdown to add more than one blank row between text lines. Can you show me an example of where you found that to work? I tried it in [dillinger.io](http://dillinger.io) and could not get more than one blank row to show up no matter what. There are more than 2 spaces at the end of each one of those 3 lines separating “Test” and “Another”. However I can’t get an extra line in Glide as I can in [Dillinger.io](http://Dillinger.io), but the behavior is the same whether I type in the text or use a formula, those extra blank (with spaces) lines don’t render as a blank line. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/7/7ad42343f672cd75301905c5c429a6add6798bcc.png) ---

After a bit more fooling around I was able to get more than one blank row between rows with data by faking it out with blank headers. I could not get this to work in Glide however, either with a formula or manually typing it in. So there is a difference in the markdown engines used between the two. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/3/3a25cfc96cc656752edeb84499e72ea4894cd8c8.png)
