Add links with Markdown

Written by Benjamin Dell

Use Markdown links when a HeySummit field explicitly says Markdown is supported or offers a Markdown editing mode. This lets you link attendees to a workbook, resource, registration page, or another useful destination.


​

Add a link

Write the link text in square brackets, followed immediately by the full destination URL in parentheses: [Download the workbook](https://example.com/workbook.pdf). Attendees will see Download the workbook as the clickable text.


​

Where to use Markdown

  • Use Markdown only when the field's help text says it is supported or the editor shows a Markdown option.

  • The event blog editor includes separate HTML and Markdown modes.

  • The fields under Event Settings > Branding and Site Settings > Legal & GDPR support Markdown. The Email Footer Copy field also supports it: go to Email & SMS > Emails, open the toolbar ... menu, and select Settings.


​

Check the link before publishing

  • Use a complete https:// URL.

  • Use descriptive link text instead of phrases such as "click here".

  • Preview or save the content, then open the link to confirm it goes to the intended page.
