For general information about this segment, see Banner chapter.

  An unique name, that is used to access this Banner via the API. Using this name, the Banner can be used by external applications, such as 2Ring Gadgets. The Name has to be unique across the entire Business Unit.

  • Enable Markdown
    Whether the text should be interpreted as Markdown. If enabled, the text can contain Markdown formatting, such as bold or italic text, links, and more. For more information about markdown, see Basic Markdown Syntax.

    To ensure your text fits well across multiple lines, you'll need to adjust the Font Size Coefficient. To calculate the ideal font size coefficient use formula:
    (1 / number of lines you want to display) * 0.7
    If markdown contains larger paddings or margins between lines, adjust the result as needed. Markdown syntax is not supported in TVs with Tizen 5.x OS. In this case unformatted markdown text will be displayed.
