Frequently asked questions
Can I @-mention people?+
Use Slack's `@` syntax in your Markdown — it'll convert correctly. For user IDs that ping correctly, type the @-mention in Slack rather than the converter.
Will emojis render?+
Yes. Both Unicode emojis and `:emoji_name:` syntax pass through Slack's renderer correctly.
How do I link to JIRA tickets?+
Full URLs convert to clickable links. If your Slack has the JIRA integration, ticket references like `PROJ-123` auto-link.
