Markdown Support

Better Messages supports Markdown syntax for formatting messages.

How it works​

Users can use standard Markdown notation to apply formatting directly while typing, without needing to use the formatting toolbar. Markdown syntax is automatically rendered when the message is sent. This works alongside the visual formatting toolbar, giving users flexibility in how they format their messages.

Supported syntax​

  • **bold** → bold
  • *italic* → italic
  • [link text](url) → clickable link
  • `inline code` → inline code
  • ```code block``` → formatted code block
  • ~~strikethrough~~ → strikethrough
