❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't my Markdown work in Slack?

Slack uses its own formatting system called "mrkdwn" which is similar to Markdown but with different syntax. For example, bold is *text* in Slack vs **text** in standard Markdown.

Can I convert Slack format back to Markdown?

This tool currently only converts Markdown → Slack. A reverse converter might be added in the future!

What about emoji and mentions?

Emoji shortcuts like :smile: work the same in both Markdown and Slack. For mentions, use @username directly in Slack.
