Formatting Help

In most places where you can enter text, AgileZen uses Markdown to provide rich formatting.

Bold and italics

• *one asterisk* will result in italic text, like this: one asterisk
• **two asterisks** will result in bold text, like this: two asterisks

You can also use underlines (_) instead of asterisks.

Links

• To create a link to another story, just enter a hash sign and then the story's number. For example, #123 will create a link to story 123.
• To link to an external site, you can do [link text](http://example.com)
• You can also just type in the address you want to link to, and AgileZen will automatically create a link for you.

Lists

• For a bulleted list, prefix each item with an asterisk (*), hyphen (-), or plus symbol (+).
• For a numbered list, prefix each item with a number and a period. For example: 1.

Code blocks

• To embed a code block, begin each line with at least four spaces.

HTML

In addition to Markdown, AgileZen supports a limited subset of HTML tags:

• a
• b, em, i, strong, del, strike
• br, hr
• pre, code
• h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6
• ol, ul, li
• sub, sup
• table, tr, th, td
• img
