Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my Markdown links not work when pasted directly into Slack?

Slack does not use standard Markdown [text](url) syntax. Instead, Slack requires <url|text>. This tool automatically converts your links to the proper format.

Why does Slack turn bold into double asterisks?

In Slack's mrkdwn system, bold is indicated by a single asterisk (*bold*). Double asterisks are treated as literal characters. Our tool maps **text** to *text* seamlessly.
