How do I disable the markup formatting when I use a hashtag in a card?

[Pamela Crawford]

I want to use Trello to share social media posts with a team for collaboration.

At the moment it won't let us display the hashtags we might use in the posts because it triggers the markup formatting to display it as a heading whereas we just want it to read the word with a hashtag in front.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Hey Pamela

You can escape markdown by putting a \ before the special character.

ie: \#comment would display as `\comment`
