Line Breaks and Newlines
Line breaks are preserved. You can also insert them with \n in API payloads.
Coloured Text Labels
You can use custom markdown to add accent-coloured labels to highlight intent.
Markdown:
:color{"text": "Urgent Request", "type": "negative"}
Rendered Output:
Urgent Request (styled with a red/negative colour)
Allowed Types:
positive(green)negative(red)neutral(grey/default)
Limitations
Only a limited set of Markdown is supported to keep visual consistency.
Headings render as plain text (not styled larger).
No support for tables, images, or bullet lists.
Colour labels use a custom syntax, not standard Markdown.
For further formatting ideas, refer to any basic Markdown guide, keeping in mind ACP only supports a subset.
