How to format text with Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight and easy-to-use syntax for styling text. Markdown is supported in several places in Metatask:

  • Description for a task
  • Instructions for a process

With Markdown you can control formatting words as bold or italic, adding images, and creating lists. Mostly, Markdown is just regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters:
