It is possible to add special formatting to text entered in a Checklist item.
Markdown Syntax
Inserting HTML directly in an item is not permitted as it is a potential security risk. For this reason, Checklist supports a subset of markdown syntax to help you format your text. Allowed syntax are:
| Emphasis | Put * around the text that you want to emphasize Emphasize *important* aspects Emphasis is rendered as italic. |
|---|---|
| Strong Emphasis | Put ** around the text that you want to emphasize Emphasize **important** aspects Strong emphasis is rendered as bold. |
| Hyperlink | Write URL directly in the text. URLs are converted into hyperlinks. However, you can also put a text instead of the link by using this syntax: Follow the [return policy](http://www.company.com/return-policy) |
User Mention
Checklist recognizes the @ symbol that is immediately followed by characters and apply a special formatting to it. For example:
Reviewed by architect @John
appears as:
While there are no other logic than special formatting, Checklist plans to offer in the future a @ mention similar to the one in JIRA and where users would be emailed when they are mentioned in the item.
Date Formatting
Checklist recognizes dates in the format: DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD//YYYY and apply special formatting to it. For example:
Contact legal by 06/07/2016
appears as:
Emoji
Checklist also support a list of emoticons that can be inserted directly in the item.
