Markdown is a simple way to format text while you type. Below, you can find the list of currently supported marks in our task description and note editor.

Emphasis

Type	Alternative	Result
`Italic`	`_Italic_`	Italic
`Bold`	`__Bold__`	Bold
`~Strikethrough~`		Strikethough

Alternatively, you can select a text and press CMD+B/CTRL+B to toggle bold, or CMD+I/CTRL+I to toggle italic.

Links

Type	Result
`<http://google.com>`	http://google.com
`[Google](http://google.com)`	Google

Our editor supports autolinking, hence typing google.com and <http://google.com> produces the same result.

Lists

`- Item 1 - Item 2 - Item 3`	`* Item 1 * Item 2 * Item 3`	Item 1 Item 2 Item 3
`1. Item 1 2. Item 2 3. Item 3`		Item 1 Item 2 Item 3
`[x] Item 1 [ ] Item 2 [ ] Item 3`		Item 1 Item 2 Item 3

All list types also support nesting. Press TAB with a cursor on the line your want to indent, or SHIFT+TAB to unindent.
