Application Formatting

I’m not sure what the wizard configuration looks like, but is it possible to use HTML instead of Markdown to format ministry and SPSF applications? Markdown doesn’t seem to support table cells with paragraph breaks.

Consider this formatting which works fine:

| Other Involvement | 
| -----------  |
| **Aliases:**  |
| I have no aliases. |
| **Other Regions:** |
| I am not in any other regions. |
| **Bans:** |
| I am not banned anywhere. |

This produces a normal-looking table:

Other Involvement
Aliases:
I have no aliases.
Other Regions:
I am not in any other regions.
Bans:
I am not banned anywhere.

The formatting for this breaks down with any paragraph breaks (two line breaks in a row). Consider, for instance, the output for this reasonable-looking input listing a user’s aliases:

Here is a list of my aliases:

Alt1
Alt2
Alt3
Alt4

This is the rendered output it produces.

Other Involvement
Aliases:
Here is a list of my aliases:

Alt1
Alt2
Alt3
Alt4 |
| Other Regions: |
| I am not in any other regions. |
| Bans: |
| I am not banned anywhere. |

An HTML table solution would avoid this. (I’m also personally not married to having tables — just plain markdown like **Aliases:** {aliases} would also be fine, I think?)

The formatting can be whatever the Cabinet/SPSF would like, I just went with quick & dirty to get the wizard up and running. Is there a specific format you’d recommend, or just the existing one?

Others can chime in here but to be honest I never had much preference — anything that bolds the name of each field is good enough :stuck_out_tongue:
