Topic: Annotation.text

Hello,
Is there any guidance or specification to format/escape the text received in the Annotation.text. I see that the datatype for the text field is 'Markdown' . Does that mean formatting shall be automatically handled (provided there is a markdown engine support) for the string that is received in this field?

From the definition of the data type:
- Systems are not required to have markdown support, so the content of a string should be readable without markdown processing, per markdown philosophy
- Markdown content SHALL NOT contain Unicode character points below 32, except for u0009 (horizontal tab), u0010 (carriage return) and u0013 (line feed)
- Markdown is a string, and subject to the same rules (e.g. length limit)

I think this means that the underlying format (XML or JSON) will apply all necessary escaping.

Vassil Peytchev Thank you for the prompt response.
