Teams supports markdown within messages \u2013 type something like this<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And you actually see this:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll know it\u2019s working because the markdown is converted as you type it (pasting a marked down string into Teams doesn\u2019t work — you’ll have the literal characters and not the implied formatting)<\/p>\n

You can even type a backtick (`)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To get an inline code block<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can insert multi-line code blocks as well. It\u2019s a little trickier to get a code block in<\/em> a message since you\u2019ve got to use shift-enter to move to a new line then<\/em> type three back ticks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After you type the three back ticks, your cursor will be in the code block. Enter will now move to a new line instead of sending the post.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They\u2019ve got a bug where you cannot do anything after<\/em> the multi-line code block<\/a> \u2026 but you can always reply to your post if you\u2019ve got something to add.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As of this writing, you cannot paste markdown text into the message and have the formatting rendered.<\/a> You can paste content into the multi-line code block composer, but you cannot paste *things* with ~markdown in them~ and see “`
