RefractTrack Markdown Formatting
Formatting Text
Anywhere you can type a longer note — task descriptions, comments, bug details — RefractTrack supports a small set of simple formatting shortcuts, so you can add structure without needing a rich-text toolbar. There's also a help button right next to these fields in the app if you ever need a quick reminder.
Structuring a block of text
| Type this | To get |
|---|---|
| A line starting with # | A heading |
| A line starting with ## | A smaller heading |
| A line starting with - or * | A bullet point |
| A line starting with 1. | A numbered list item |
| Two spaces of indent | Nests a list item under the one above |
| Triple backticks around a block, with a language name | A code block, with basic color highlighting for C# and JSON |
Formatting a word or phrase
| Type this | To get |
|---|---|
| **bold** | bold |
| *italic* | italic |
| ++underline++ | underlined text |
Live preview
As you type in a description or comment box, a live preview shows exactly how the formatted text will look — no guessing, and no need to save first to check.
Task codes link themselves
You never need to manually link to another task. Just type its code — like FE-12 — anywhere in a description or comment, and RefractTrack automatically turns it into a clickable link, as long as it's a real task you have permission to see.
