How can I include links and formatting 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:

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
