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, italic, strikethrough, inline code, line breaks).
- Notes: Block formatting supported (headings, lists, blockquotes, code blocks, paragraphs), plus inline features.
Inline Syntax
- Links:
[label](https://example.com)and barehttps://URLs auto‑link. External links open in a new tab and are sanitized. Internal paths starting with/link to pages inside the app. - Bold:
**bold**or__bold__. - Italic:
*italic*or_italic_. - Strikethrough:
~~strike~~. - Inline code:
`code`. - Line breaks: Newlines are preserved in titles, subtasks, and notes.
Notes: Block Syntax
- Headings:
# Headingrenders as a bold paragraph. - Unordered lists:
- item,* item, or+ item. - Ordered lists:
1. item,2. item, … - Blockquotes:
> quote. - Fenced code blocks:
```on their own lines. - Paragraphs: Separate blocks with a blank line.
Example

Not Supported
- Raw HTML, images, tables.
- 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.
