requiredapplication/jsonbodystringUpdated rich text content for the journal entry in HTML or Markdown format. The content is automatically converted to the internal document format (IDoc) for storage. Supports headings, paragraphs, lists, links, and formatting. Accepts Markdown or HTML for complex formatting. This content is rendered by the Leadtime rich editor, not by a plain Markdown viewer.
For quick/simple text, Markdown is acceptable. For polished user-facing content from an agent or integration, prefer structured HTML because it preserves editor blocks, links, and layout more predictably.
Use only the nodes and marks documented below for this field. Supported editor features differ by endpoint and field. Choose formatting for readability, not decoration: use headings for real sections, paragraphs for narrative text, lists or tables for structured facts, blockquotes for quoted context, callouts for important outcomes/risks/notes when supported, and explicit anchors for links. Do not rely on bare URLs or Markdown links when the link must be clickable; use explicit anchors such as <a href="https://example.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">link text</a>.
In HTML you can use:
