Use Markdown in issue descriptions

Headings, lists and links make long descriptions easier to scan. Markdown organizes requirements and decisions without requiring a heavy document editor.

How to apply it

Use concise headings, bullet lists, emphasis and links in Taskending descriptions and comments. GFM tables suit small comparisons. Keep code examples in code blocks. Separate expected behavior, reproduction steps and verification notes into distinct sections.

A concrete example

A bug report can use Environment, Steps to reproduce and Expected result headings. Compare two browser behaviors in a small table. Explain what a reviewer should inspect next to a design link rather than leaving an unexplained URL.

What to watch for

HTML is not executed and remote images do not automatically load. An unavailable image does not mean the description disappeared. Do not embed credentials or large files in prose; attachment limits and linked-resource permissions still apply.

How to check the outcome

Read the rendered result after saving. Is the table understandable on a narrow screen, does each link explain its destination and does copied code retain its meaning? Remove formatting that adds noise.

The difference between a due date and an estimate

A due date is a calendar expectation; an estimate predicts effort. Confusing the two makes small-looking tasks disrupt delivery plans.

Create consistent issues with templates

Asking for the same essential information improves recurring work. A template is a starting point that prevents important context from being forgotten.

Keep recurring work on a reliable schedule

Backup checks, monthly reports and maintenance should not depend on someone remembering them. A recurring-task definition provides a separate planning mechanism.
