Markdown Syntax Guide 3.0.4

XL Release allows your to style your text using 'Markdown' syntax. Markdown is a way to indicate headers, hyperlink, italic, etc. in your text without being in the way. In XL Release, markdown is supported in task descriptions and comments.

This manual gives a brief overview of the most common Markdown commands.

# Header 1

## Header 2

###### Header 6

Bold and italic

Surround a word and phrase with a single _ (underscore) to make it italic. For bold, use a double * (asterisk).

Choose between **bold** and _italic_.

Lists

Bullet lists are created by starting the link with a * (asterisk), followed by a space and then the text of the item

Bullet list:
* One item
* Another item

A numbered list is created by putting a number in front, followed by a dot. The numbering does not have to be exact, Markdown will calculate the proper order for you!

Numbered list:
1. First item
2. Second item
10. Last item
