# How can I include links and formatting in question descriptions?

## Learn how to use Markdown syntax to include links, formatting, and bullet points in question descriptions.

### Overview

snapAddy offers you a flexible solution for formatting question descriptions. With selected Markdown commands, you can structure your content and highlight important information.

While only a simple text field needs to be formatted in the dashboard, selected Markdown commands allow you to structure your content and emphasize key information.

### Supported Markdown formats

**1. Insert links**

You can create hyperlinks to external websites or email addresses:

`[Link text](<https://snapaddy.com>)`

- Links automatically open in a new tab
- Supported protocols:  `https://` and `mailto:`
- Example for email links: `[Contact us](<mailto:support@snapaddy.com>)`

**2. Bold text**

Highlight important terms:

`**Bold text**` or `__Bold text__`

**3. Italic text**

Emphasize individual words:

`*Italic text*` or `_Italic text_`

**4. Inline-Code**

Mark technical terms or commands:

```
`inline code here`
```

**5. Unordered lists**

Create bullet points:

`* Item 1`  
`* Item 2`  
`* Item 3`

or

`- Item 1`  
`- Item 2`  
`- Item 3`

**6. Ordered lists**

For step-by-step instructions:

`1. First item`  
`2. Second item`  
`3. Third item`

**7. Line breaks**

- Double line breaks create a new paragraph
- For a hard line break, add two spaces at the end of the line

### Example

The following example shows how the question description is formatted in the dashboard and displayed in the app.
