Formatting Guide

Some fields in Directus let you format your text — add bold, bullet points, headings, and more. This guide explains everything you need to know.

Amber Highlight (for Title Fields)

In title fields, you can make any word or phrase appear in your brand’s amber (gold) color by wrapping it in single asterisks.

Syntax: *your text here*
