Data Merge Manager Markup

[Dupdon]

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to use the Data Merge Manager for my Publisher workflow. From reading the documentation and scouring forum posts, I cant find any information on which markup is supported for the different file types. In other Python projects I have previously used HTML markup with QT so that I can mark up in my data how I want the final result to render. For an example from their docs, this text: "<b>Hello</b> <i>Qt!</i>" would result in: Hello Qt!

From this post I can see that when using csv files, line breaks previously worked, but are currently broken. And this post suggests that <b> may work with .json files (for bold text).

Does anyone have a list of what else is supposed to be supported as it seems there is some bugs right now? 

Thanks in advance

Hi @Dupdonand Welcome to the Forums,

The issue with Line Breaks is still open with the Developers.  But the JSON issue has been resolved, so using JSON file will work.  But Affinity Publishers Data Merge feature doesn't support HTML Markup and in the threads you've linked to I'm 99% sure they have just made the text of their post bold to stand out.
