I would like to know how to enable markdown mode in card Description field:

Up-right corner, there is M↓ but that allows only read. Is there a way to enable also editing in that mode?

Hi @gerrico ,

Welcome to the Community! Currently editing markdown directly is not possible with Trello. There was this request (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/TRELLO-601) that the Atlassian team closed with this explanation:

 

"Hello,

Thank you for your interest in this feature request. After careful consideration, we have decided to change the status of this ticket from "Gathering Interest" to "Not being considered." The primary reason for this decision is that Trello uses a common editor across Atlassian products, which does not support markdown.

We understand that this may be disappointing news, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please know that this decision was made to ensure consistency and compatibility across our product suite.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with other matters, please feel free to reach out.

Best regards,"
