Rich Text Formatting
Description fields across HoMeeSuite — events, shifts, shift types, volunteer types, and announcements — support lightweight text formatting so you can highlight important details for your team and volunteers.
Using the toolbar
Every description field with formatting support shows a small toolbar above the text box with four buttons: Bold, Italic, bulleted List, and Link. Select some text and click a button to wrap it, or click a button with nothing selected to insert placeholder text you can then edit.
Write and Preview
Below the toolbar, a Write/Preview tab pair lets you switch between editing your text and seeing exactly how it will render for volunteers before you save.
What's supported
- Bold and italic text
- Bulleted lists
- Links
- Emoji shortcodes like
:+1:,:tada:, and:wave:
Type an emoji shortcode anywhere in a description and it renders as the matching emoji when saved — no toolbar button needed.
Raw HTML is not supported — if you paste HTML into a description field, it will not be rendered as formatted content. Use the toolbar buttons instead.
