Markdown Guide
Challenge Accepted supports a safe, minimal Markdown subset designed for quick typing and reliable rendering.
Where Markdown Works
- Todo titles & subtasks: Inline formatting only (links, bold, line breaks).
- Notes: Block formatting supported (headings, lists, paragraphs), plus inline features.
Inline Syntax
- Links:
[label](https://example.com)
and barehttps://
URLs auto‑link. - Bold:
**bold**
or__bold__
. - Line breaks: Newlines are preserved in titles, subtasks, and notes.
Notes: Block Syntax
- Headings:
# Heading
renders as a bold paragraph. - Unordered lists:
- item
,* item
, or+ item
. - Ordered lists:
1. item
,2. item
, … - Paragraphs: Separate blocks with a blank line.
Example
# Sprint Notes
- Review [PR 123](https://example.com/pr/123) with Alex
- Update docs for auth flow
Next steps:
1. Draft proposal
2. Share with Sam
Examples
- Todo title:
Review PR [#123](https://example.com/pr/123) with Alex
- Subtask:
Follow up with Sam
- Notes (with list):
# Meeting - Link: https://example.com/design 1. Decide layout 2. Assign owners
Not Supported
- Raw HTML, images, code blocks, blockquotes, tables.
- Italics/strikethrough rendering. Strikethrough is recognized on import but not rendered.
- Deeply nested lists; lists are parsed as flat items.
Tips
- Keep titles concise; put longer context in Notes.
- Use links in Notes for specs, PRs, or docs; titles can hold a single key link.
