How Markdown maps to Slack
| Feature | Markdown | Slack |
|---|---|---|
| Bold | **x** | *x* |
| Strikethrough | ~~x~~ | ~x~ |
| Link | [text](url) | <url|text> |
| Heading | # x | bold line (no headings) |
Common gotchas
- Slack bold is a single asterisk and Markdown is double, so **bold** shows literal asterisks in Slack.
- Slack does not auto-convert pasted Markdown, so you must paste mrkdwn, which is what this tool outputs.
- Markdown links [text](url) become <url|text> or they will not be clickable.
Frequently asked
- Why does my Markdown bold not work in Slack?
- Slack uses a single asterisk for bold, not the double asterisk Markdown uses, so **bold** renders as literal asterisks. This tool rewrites it to *bold*.
- Does Slack support headings?
- No. Slack has no heading syntax, so a Markdown heading is converted to a bold line.
