Styling items with Markdown

A variety of special formatting can be applied to text entered in a checklist item.

You can use almost the full Markdown suite (CommonMark specification) to customize your checklists to your heart’s desire. One exception is that you cannot insert HTML blocks, as this poses a security risk.

To get your started, here are a few examples of what you can do:

Formatting	Syntax	Example
Italics	The customer said *what*?
Bold	Invoices **must** be submitted by 5.
Hyperlinks	See our [return policy](http://www.company.com/return-policy).
Heading 1	# Heading
Heading 2	## Heading
Heading 3	### Heading
Heading 4	#### Heading
Bulleted list	* List
Numbered list	1. List
Block quote	> Block quote
Code block	CODE ``` Code block ```
Images	
Separator	---

Gherkin scenario example

Here is an example of using multiple styles to create an item that covers a Gherkin scenario:

**Scenario: "Invitation"**

----
* *Given*: I want to inform new users of their account.
* *When*: I create a new user.
* *Then*: The new user should receive an invitation e-mail.
