Rich card properties markdown formatting

Question

I have problem with markdown formatting of Text property in Hero card. Here is code sample:

HeroCard heroCard = new HeroCard()
{
    Text= $"**Place1**: Berlin \n\n**Place2**: Hamburg",
    Buttons = cardButtons
};

It doesn't make line brakes. Also tried \r\n, works neither. It looks like this:

How can I put text on the bottom of the hero card?

Answer 1

As already mentioned, this is down to both the channel (client - e.g. emulator, skype, facebook, your own directline client) implementing markdown support, since the text is sent as markdown in the json response.

However, at the moment you'll probably find that both the emulator and skype will render markdown on the message's "text" element but will ignore markdown on the attachment's "text" elements, e.g.

HeroCard heroCard = new HeroCard()
{
    Text= "Booo - no *markdown* supported here",
    Buttons = cardButtons
};

vs

var reply = activity.CreateReply("**Lovely lovely markdown**\n\n *yey!*");

var heroCard = new HeroCard()
{
    Text = "Booo - no *markdown* supported here",
    Buttons = cardButtons
};

reply.Attachments = new List<Attachment> {
  hero.ToAttachment()
};

I show a few examples of rich conversation cards here, and how they render on emulator vs skype desktop vs skype app va skype web, in case that helps.
