Hello Trello Team,

In a Trello card, we have the option to write a description with some formatting help, But there is some problem arising while decorating.

Few children in my neighborhood using Trello for the last one month after I suggested them to use Trello.

Today they told & shown that they are facing problems with formatting codes in Trello card description. They are just decorating some text not formatting but using codes like ``` ___ ** etc. Changing the formatting of the text but they want to decorate like *```*__Hello__*```*.

So I'm giving some examples below:

Please don't! I like it the way it works now. Markup is great!

Hi @alfredbuehler ,

It was just a suggestion. I was aking to add some more features like this.

I was just going to suggest this as well! I like using markdown, but it would be nice to have this as an option too.

I definitely want this as an option. If some like markup, great; but the option should be there. I find markup really cumbersome and it would take too much time to add formatted text from emails & docs. I'm using Trello to save time, not add more!

EXACTLY! We're supposed to be SAVING time. Not be forced to become coders.

This is in the formatting help:

Escaping Markdown  - To use the markdown syntax literally, you can escape the formatting using a backslash '\' before the symbols, e.g. \*literal asterisks\*.

It's been two years and this feature is still not here? Why? Where's the petition? lol Seriously though, I'd like to suggest Trello to my friends, but I don't want them to have to worry about coding in order to get bold text.
