Role uses Markdown for much of the fields and text areas that you can type into. For those who like, we specifically use Github-flavored Markdown. Here’s a quick guide touching on the various things you can do in Markdown.

> line you want as part of that Blockquote

You can wrap a single, inline code line with back ticks `Hello World`
If you want a full code block, put a 3 back ticks, followed by your code block
and then another 3 back ticks
console.log('Hello World');
You can make tables of data in your notes!
| Tables | Are | Cool |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| This col is | This col is | $123 |
| left aligned | centered | $456 |
| by default | which is cool | $331 |
If you want to align the content in the column, you can add colons (:) next to the dashes that separate the header cell from the rest of the table.
There must be at least 3 dashes separating each header cell.
The outer pipes (|) are optional, and you don't need to make the
raw Markdown line up prettily. You can also use inline Markdown which is not as pretty but works!
