🤔 What Is Markdown?
Markdown is a "lightweight" language that uses tags and other symbols—this can include "*" or "#" characters—to determine how text should be displayed when processed by the computer. Visit The History of Markdown to learn more.
⚙️ How It Works
Taskade supports Markdown in several ways. You can use Markdown syntax to communicate with your team in chat and comments (including the AI Chat), import/export Markdown (.md) files, take notes/save links with the Quick Add widget, and format tasks, checklists, and paragraphs.
Here is a list of supported syntax elements:
| Markdown Feature | How it looks | Remarks |
| Bold |  |
**bold** |
| Italic |  |
_italic_ |
| Underline |  |
Double underline __test__ |
| Block quote |  |
> block quote |
| Strikethrough |  |
~~hi~~ |
| Inline code |  |
```inline code``` |
| Code block |  |
```code block``` |
| Workspace links |  |
check out this space "workspace link" |
| Project links |  |
visit this project "project link" |
⌨️ Formatting Nodes with Markdown

- [] to convert a node into Check 1
- # to convert a node into H1
