Markdown in Habitica

Habitica supports a modified version of Markdown for formatting text and inserting images into tasks, profiles, and messages.

Note that Markdown formatting may not display as expected on the mobile apps.

Headings

You can create a heading by adding one to three # symbols before your heading text. The number of # you use will determine the hierarchy and size of the heading.

# A first-level heading
## A second-level heading
### A third-level heading

Styling Text

You can indicate emphasis with bold, italic, or strikethrough.

Style	Syntax	Example	Output
Bold	** **	**This is bold text**	This is bold text
Italic	* * or _ _	*This text is italicized*	This text is italicized
Strikethrough	~~ ~~	~~This was mistaken text~~	This was mistaken text
Bold and nested italic	** ** and _ _	**This text is _extremely_ important**	This text is extremely important
All bold and italic	*** ***	***All this text is important***	All this text is important

Quoting Text

You can quote text with a >.

> What about second breakfast?

Code

You can call out code with single backticks. The text within the backticks will not be formatted.

This is an example of `code`.

Links

You can create an inline link by wrapping link text in brackets [ ], and then wrapping the URL in parentheses ( ).

This is a [Habitica](https://habitica.com) link.

Images

You can display an image by adding ! and wrapping the alt text in [ ]. Alt text is a short description of the information in the image. Then, wrap the URL for the image in parentheses ( ).

To order your list, precede each line with a number.

1. Vaporeon
