Hello, I am just starting to use the Documentation pages in RDM and I'm experiencing some strange behavior when trying to use HTML templates.
I have created several templates and the 'editor' page looks like this:
<h1>Company Information</strong></h1>
<p><strong>Enter link to ConnectWise PSA company page here</p>
<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Company Name: </strong> </h3>
<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Address:</strong></h3>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
However, then I try to use the templates, I get all these unwanted /n characters in the page. they literally say "\n" (see below). those characters are no where in my HTML code. Not sure where they're coming from and I don't want them there, obviously.
Here's what it looks like in the Template window, notice no weird \n characters.
EDIT 1: I was choosing HTML as the "Documentation Type" when I went to create a new page. That's when I saw the \n characters.
However, I found that If I select Markdown as the Documentation Type, it didn't put the \n characters in there.
That said - I don't want to use Markdown, I want to use HTML. That's why I put the HTML code in the template...But, when I create the template, there's no choice to let RDM know that this is the type of document I'm creating.
If someone can please assist, that would be great.

Hi Samuel,
I'm using SQL as the datasource and I'm currently running 2023.2.27.0 64-bit

Hello sbemister1.
We use different components for handling the tab documentation. While in the HTML editor, there is Tools section at the top. In it, you can find the Source Code button. If you insert your html directly there, it should come out as expected.
Please tell us if this fixes the issue for you.

Hi Jafran,
Please keep in mind this is occurring when I try to use a template.
