Headers

Structure your comments using headers. Headers segment longer comments, making them easier to read.

Start a line with a hash character # to set a heading. Organize your remarks with subheadings by starting a line with additional hash characters, for example ####. Up to six levels of headings are supported.

Paragraphs and line breaks

Make your text easier to read by breaking it up with paragraphs or line breaks. Enter two spaces prior to the line break to force most clients to start a new line.

Example:

Result:This is line 1.
Now text will appear on the next line.

Example 2

Result:
This is line 1.

Line 2 has extra space before it.

Lists

Markdown H1 X

Organize related items with lists. You can add ordered lists with numbers, or unordered lists with just bullets.

Ordered lists start with a number followed by a period for each list item. Unordered lists start with a *. Begin each list item on a new line. In a Markdown file or widget, enter two spaces prior to the line break to begin a new paragraph, or enter two line breaks consecutively to begin a new paragraph.

Ordered or numbered lists

Example:

Result:

First item.
Second item.
Third item.

Bullet lists

Example:

Result:

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

Nested lists

Example:

Result:

First item.
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
Second item.
- Nested item 1
- Nested item 2
- Nested item 3

Links

HTTP and HTTPS URLs are automatically formatted as links.

Power Automate

Tables

Organize structured data with tables.

Place each table row on its own line
Separate table cells using the pipe character |
The first two lines of a table set the column headers and the alignment of elements in the table
Use colons (:) when dividing the header and body of tables to specify column alignment (left, center, right)
To start a new line, use the HTML break tag (<br/>)
Make sure to end each row with a CR or LF.

Example:

Result:

Heading 1	Heading 2	Heading 3
Cell A1	Cell A2	Cell A3
Cell B1	Cell B2	Cell B3 second line of text

Emphasis (bold, italics, strikethrough)

You can emphasize text by applying bold, italics, or strikethrough to characters:

To apply italics: surround the text with an asterisk * or underscore _
To apply bold: surround the text with double asterisks **.
To apply strikethrough: surround the text with double tilde characters ~~.

Combine these elements to apply multiple emphasis to text.

Example:

Result:
Use emphasis in comments to express strong opinions and point out ~~corrections~~
Bold, italicized text
~~Bold, strike-through text~~
