How do I format messages in the text composer?

You can format your messages according to your needs in Zoho Cliq. Use the text composer to create a formatted message:
  1. Type your text.
  2. Select the text you want to format.
  3. Apply the following formatting options available in the pop-up:
    • Bold
    • Italics
    • Strike
    • Quote
    • Underline
    • Hyperlink

  1. For more formatting options, select the formatting icon in the bottom-right corner.
Here, you'll see all your formatting options available. Additionally, you will find the blockquote and markdowns option.
NotesNote: The keyboard shortcuts of each markdown will also be displayed for users to execute.
You can also quote message in the conversation by clicking on a word or selecting a line. This will display a quote message icon. Click on the icon to insert the selected text as a block quote, making it a reference to your message.


To view the markdowns:
  • In the composer, click on M↓ icon in the top-right corner of the formatting option.
  • A pop-up with a list of markdowns will be available.
To format messages in:
  • Bold: To bold a section of the text, enclose with the asterisk (*).
Example : *Hello Jacob. How are you?*
  • Headings: For H1 precede the text with a # followed by a space, for H3 precede the text with ### followed by a space.
Example : # Hello Jacob. How are you?
Example : ### Hello Jacob. How are you?
 
Notes
Note:
  1. You can have a maximum of six headings, and you must put a space between the hashtag and header text.
  2. The number of hashtags in the text depends on which heading you want the text to be.
  • ItalicsTo italicize a section of the text, enclose with the underscore (_).
Example : _Hello Jacob. How are you?_
  • Strike: To strike a section of the text, enclose with the tilde symbol (~).
Example : ~Hello Jacob. How are you?!~
  • Underline: To underline a section of the text, enclose with two underscores (__).
Example : __Hello Jacob. How are you?!__
  • Quote: To quote a section of the text, enclose with the backtick.
Example : `Hello Jacob. How are you?`
  • Blockquote: To blockquote a section of the text, use exclamatory (!) before the word/sentence.
Example: !Hello Jacob. How are you?
  • Hyperlink: To insert a link into display text, enclose the display text with the square bracket[ ] and the link with parentheses( ).
Example: Hello Jacob. Read this article [How to increase sales](enter url here)
  • Code Snippet: This creates a box that displays text inside, enclose the text with 3 backticks (```).
Example: ```Hello Jacob. How are you?```
  • Horizontal Line: To insert a horizontal line between lines of text, use three hyphens (---)
IdeaTip: You can also press your Enter key twice to insert a horizontal line.  

In addition to text formatting, the Zoho Cliq's text composer offers several other features for users:
  • Attach files
  • Voice messages
  • Video messages
  • Screen record
  • Writing assistant
  • Commands
  • Bot menu actions (available only in extension bots)
  • Schedule messages

How do I escape the markdown characters?

Sample Text: *request_id is being *processed*
Desired Output: *request_id is being processed
Actual Output: request_id is being processed


I need an escape option as well! Can't write a proper dialing shortcode *51 in cliq lol.

Are there any shortcut key functions available? They seem easier and less complicated, I think. 😅

Markdown to create a simple table would be nice.

The code snippet format the string with the <pre></pre>. How can I format it using a <code></code>?
