Formatting with markdown - Zoho Backstage

Formatting with markdown

Format your channel messages and announcement responses using markdown in the microsite. Markdown is a formatting language used to easily add style to text as it is written. It lets you highlight words, add block quotations, link to a different page, and more.

To use markdown, enclose words or phrases between a set of punctuation or characters, or use it to offset text by indenting it in a new line as shown below.
