Editorial cheat sheet

Most of what you need to publish on the FashionUnited platform is supported by markdown. Here’s the relevant links:

  2. Markdown Cheat sheet – For advanced use, the basics are covered on this page.

When using HTML

For any markup that is not covered by Markdown’s syntax, you simply use HTML itself [source].

Use blank lines to separate block-level HTML elements like <div>, <table>, <pre>, and <p> from the surrounding content [source].

Good example:

This is a regular paragraph.


<figure>
  <img src="https://media.fashionunited.com/media/dummy/landscape.jpeg" alt="my alt text">
  <figcaption>This is my caption text.</figcaption>
</figure>


**This is a bold paragraph.**


<div class="article-promo">
  Werken bij een van de merken in Amsterdam The Style Outlets?
</div>


Inline HTML (span, img, etc.) is allowed
<img src="https://media.fashionunited.com/media/dummy/landscape.jpeg"> and will
render fine. _And an italic sentence._

Bad example:

This is a regular paragraph.
<figure>
  <img src="https://media.fashionunited.com/media/dummy/landscape.jpeg" alt="my alt text">
  <figcaption>This is my caption text.</figcaption>
</figure>
**This is bold a paragraph.**
<div class="article-promo">
  Werken bij een van de merken in Amsterdam The Style Outlets?
</div>
Inline HTML (span, img, etc.) is allowed <img src="https://media.fashionunited.com/media/dummy/landscape.jpeg"> and will render fine.
*And an italic sentence.*

![Alttext](URL)

Or, with optional titletext:

![Alttext](URL "Titletext")
  • Alttext is mandatory. Always provide an alt text describing what’s in the picture. This helps SEO and visually impaired people using screenreaders. Read more
  • Title text is optional / not needed. The title text will show on mouse hover. On mobile phones, over 50% of users as of 2019, you cannot hover. Hence the title text is useless.
![ALTTEXT](https://media.fashionunited.com/media/dummy/portrait.jpeg "Title text, optional. Shows on mouse hover.")

Alt text, mandatory. Always provide an alt text describing what's in the picture!

Markdown does not support figcaption. Therefore we must use HTML.

  <p>
    De mode-industrie is een van de vervuilendste industrieën wereldwijd. We quoten de Amerikaanse modejournalist Dana Thomas: ‘van het vergaren van grondstoffen tot <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://fashionunited.nl/v1/leads/ophef-afvalberg-kleding/20080828131" target="_self"><u>de afvalberg vol kleding</u></a>’. Enerzijds is de modesector dus zo vervuilend omdat modebedrijven gigantisch veel kleren produceren, anderzijds omdat consumenten - jij en ik - enorme hoeveelheden kleding kopen - en weggooien.

  <summary>Een ander idee is dichter bij huis produceren.<span class="dropdown-icon"></span>Dat doet Zara overigens ook.</summary>

    <div class="article-promo">
      <p>
        <u>Mode wordt weer dicht bij de afzetmarkt gemaakt</u><br>
        Voor <em>nearshoring</em>, waarbij de productie dus dichter bij de
        afzetmarkt plaatsvindt, en <em>reshoring</em>, het terughalen van de
        productie uit lagelonenlanden, is steeds meer interesse in de branche. Zo
        blijkt ook uit het in 2018 verschenen rapport 'Is apparel manufacturing
        coming home?' en het 2021 onderzoek 'Revamping fashion sourcing: Speed and
        flexibility to the fore' van het Amerikaanse adviesbureau McKinsey. Daarin
        gaf 71 procent van de Chief Purchasing Officers (CPO’s) die McKinsey
        ondervroeg, aan <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://fashionunited.nl/nieuws/business/minder-opties-meer-in-season-en-meer-analytics-nieuw-onderzoek-onthult-sourcingtrends/2021111651666" target="_self"><u>meer te willen gaan <em>nearshoren</em></u></a>.
      </p>


      <p>
        Dat er in de modewereld een toenemende interesse is voor productie in de
        buurt van de afzetmarkt, stelt ook de Amerikaanse (mode)journalist Dana
        Thomas. Thomas schrijft in haar boek Fashionolopis (over de opkomst en
        keerzijde van fast fashion) dat deze <em>nearshoring</em> trend in Amerika
        en Engeland al een paar jaar geleden in gang is gezet. <small>(Bron: De
        Correspondent artikel 'Van Made in Bangladesh naar Made in Europe’ van Emy
        Demkes, uit oktober 2019.)</small>
      </p>


      <p>
        Han Bekke, voorzitter van branchevereniging Modint, verklaarde tegenover
        NOS eveneens "een duidelijke trend" te zien. In het artikel 'Groeiend
        aantal modebedrijven wil weg van 'race to bottom' in China' uit april 2021
        stelt Bekke: "Steeds meer orders gaan naar landen als Turkije, Portugal en
        Italië en Oost-Europese landen."

Additional information to use this tag:

  • Make sure that the paragraph is wrapped with a <details> tag.
  • The <summary> tag is used to define a visible heading for the <details> element.
  • Make sure the <span class="dropdown-icon"></span> tag is added to the <summary> tag to show the dropdown icon.
  • The <details-menu> tag is used to define the content of the details menu.
  • The <details-menu> tag must have the role="menu" attribute.
  • The <details-menu> tag must have a <div class="article-promo"> tag as a child.
  • The <div class="article-promo"> should contain <p> tags with the content of the details menu.
  • Continue the article after the <details> tag, so that the DOM looks like:
<p></p>
<details></details>

closed: Details menu closed

open: Details menu open

Dropdown for credit details / references, using an asterisk (*) icon

In order to display a dropdown with an asterisk, use the same element as the details-menu, but replace <span class="dropdown-icon"></span> with <span class="asterisk-icon"></span>.

Example:

<details>
  <summary aria-haspopup="menu" role="button">
    Example of credit details.
    <span class="asterisk-icon"></span>Notice how it uses an asterisk instead of
    a chevron icon
