This edubadges BadgeClass serves as an example to demonstrate the markdown options in the metadata fields and to give an explanation what to fill in the metadata fields. See the public Badge Class here.

Edubadges supports a basic markup language called 'Markdown' which enables you to add some basic layout functions in your edubadges BadgeClasses.
