Github Flavored Markdown
Motion uses Github Flavored Markdown for all of the description fields.
API users can test their code using a markdown to HTML converter, like showdown.
Limitations
Currently, we use Prosemirror for our text editor, and it does not seem to play nicely with Github Flavored
Markdown.
Specifically, creating a checkbox with
- [ ] My checkbox
or - [x] My checkbox
does not work.
We are in the process of ripping out Prosemirror, and in a couple weeks
this limitation should be solved. Until then, please use the following
workaround.
Use the following raw HTML string in the description input to create a
checkbox:
<ul data-type="taskList"><li
data-checked="false"><label contenteditable="false"><input
type="checkbox"><span></span></label><div><p>YOUR
SUBTASK ITEM HERE</p></div></li></ul>
