You can style your text in Height with markdown. Markdown lets you do things like bold and italicize text, add images, and create lists and headers.

Markdown mostly makes use of special characters like #, -, and `. You can use markdown in task descriptions and messages.

Markdown can be combined, so you can do things bold and italicize the same text.

What's supported?

Bold text = **Bold text**
Italic text = *Italic text*
Strikethrough text = ~~Strikethrough text~~

Hyperlink text = [Height](http://height.app)

Large header = #Header
Medium header = ##Header

Small header = ###Header

Blockquote text = > Quoted text

Inline code = `Inline code`

Code blocks = ```Code block```

Unordered lists = * Item 1 OR - Item 1

Ordered lists = 1. Item 1

Images = ![File name](https://height.app/image)

Tables = Divide the first row (typically the table headers) with -s and then use | to separate columns. Example:

Column 1 name | Column 2 name
---------------- | ----------------
Data 1 | Info 1
Data 2 | Info 2
