# How to write Markdown

This is how Markdown is defined in Wikipedia.

> **Markdown** is a lightweight markup language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor.

Using just a few special characters, you can use a plain-text editor to generate formatted text with headings, lists, hyperlinks and more.

DialogForm supports Markdown in prompt messages, answer options and answer quick-responses.  Here's an example of how it looks in the editor and in the preview panel:

![](/files/J6SCpAkwW0Cdrw0GOfNX)

## What To Do

Instructions for all of the syntax that DialogForm supports can be found on the link below. \*\*Please ignore the "Images" and "Linking Images" sections on the page. DialogForm provides its own image uploading and insertion interface.
