Rich News

Since API version 1.1.14 news items may contain rich mark-up. A subset of HTML5 is used to facilitate this:

Tags

Tag	Element	Description
`<a>`	Anchor	Hyperlink
`<b>`	Bold	Emphasize text by embolding
`<h1>`	Heading 1	Level one heading
`<h2>`	Heading 2	Level two heading
`<h3>`	Heading 3	Level three heading
`<i>`	Italic	Emphasize text by italicization
`<img>`	Image	Inline image attachment
`<li>`	List item	Item in an ordered or unordered list
`<ol>`	Ordered list	Enumerated list (not deeper than 2 levels)
`<p>`	Paragraph	Divide text into blocks separated by a hard return
`<u>`	Underline	Emphasize text with underline
`<ul>`	Unordered list	Bulleted list (not deeper than 2 levels)

News items with an HTML body (htmlBody property) will also have an autogenerated plain text body (body property). In write context these two properties are mutually exclusive.

Example HTML Body

<h1>This is an <b>H1</b> heading</h1>
<h2>This is an <i>H2</i> heading</h2>
<h3>This is an <u>H3</u> heading</h3>
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<ol>
    <li>One</li>
    <li>Two</li>
    <li>Three</li>
    <li>Nested list
        <ul>
            <li>Eleven</li>
            <li>Twelve</li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ol>
<ul>
    <li>First</li>
    <li>Second</li>
    <li>Third</li>
    <li>Nested list
        <ol>
            <li>Eleventh</li>
            <li>Twelfth</li>
        </ol>
    </li>
</ul>

Attachments

All kinds of files can be attached to a news item. This can be achieved by having an anchor (<a>) or image (<img>) element referring to a file message from the list of attachments:

Inline Image

<img src="https://speakap.speakap.com/files/1234567890ABCDEF/"
  data-eid="1234567890ABCDEF"
  data-rel="attachment"
/>

{
    "attachments": [
        {
            "EID": "1234567890ABCDEF",
            "type": "message"
        }
    ]
}
