Frequently asked
- Is Slack mrkdwn the same as Markdown?
- No. Slack uses single-asterisk bold and angle-bracket links, so standard Markdown needs converting first.
- How do I link text in Slack?
- Use the angle-bracket form <url|text>, which shows the text as a clickable link.
- Does Slack have headings?
- No. Slack has no heading syntax, so use a bold line instead.
