Frequently asked questions
Will badges render in Slack?+
Markdown image syntax becomes a Slack-rendered URL. Slack will fetch the image preview if the URL is whitelisted in your workspace.
Can I use this for Slack thread replies?+
Yes. The mrkdwn output works in any Slack message context — channels, DMs, threads, even canvases.
How do long messages handle Slack's character limit?+
Slack's per-message limit is 40,000 chars. For longer content, use Slack canvases or split into multiple messages.
