​
Where Markdown Works

Use markdown formatting in:
  • Insight content - Capture formatted feedback
  • Feature descriptions - Document requirements
  • Announcement content - Create engaging updates
  • Comments - Add formatted discussions

​
Supported Formatting

​
Headers

Create hierarchy with headers: 
# H1 - Main Title
## H2 - Section Header
Output:

​
H1 - Main Title

​
H2 - Section Header

Use H1 sparingly - typically once per document. H2 headers work best for sections.

​
Text Styling

Format text for emphasis: 
**Bold text** for strong emphasis
*Italic text* for subtle emphasis
<u>Underlined text</u> for highlighting
~~Strikethrough~~ for deprecated content
Output:
  • Bold text for strong emphasis
  • Italic text for subtle emphasis
  • Underlined text for highlighting
  • Strikethrough for deprecated content
Create clickable links: 
[Link text](https://example.com)
Output: Link text [image]

​
Lists

​
Bullet Lists

Create unordered lists: 
- First item
- Second item
  - Nested item
  - Another nested item
- Third item
Output:
  • First item
  • Second item
    • Nested item
    • Another nested item
  • Third item

​
Numbered Lists

Create ordered lists: 
1. First step
2. Second step
3. Third step
Output:
  1. First step
  2. Second step
  3. Third step

​
Todo Lists

Track tasks with checkboxes: 
- [ ] Uncompleted task
- [x] Completed task
- [ ] Another todo
Output:
  • Uncompleted task
  • Completed task
  • Another todo

Todo lists are perfect for feature requirements or announcement checklists.

**Important:** This is a *critical* update with ~~deprecated~~ features
Nested Lists - Organize complex information:

  - Sub-feature 1
    - Detail A
    - Detail B
  - Sub-feature 2
Clean URLs - Make links readable:
