Lighthouse are another partner tht uses Markdown for it’s default text formatting for Tickets, Pages, Milestone Goals and Messages inside your Account and Projects. Previously, Lighthouse only used a custom textile-like formatting which worked well for very basic formatting needs, but did not allow for specific features that were in high demand, such as nested lists.

The original textile-like formatting is still part of Lighthouse, we’ve just plugged a full set of Markdown to accompany it.
Link to a ticket

You can link to a ticket by simply referring to the ticket number, so by simply typing #43 will render a link to ticket #43 inside your current project.
Italic and Bold text:

italic and italic with both give you italic text

bold and bold with both give you bold text
Links

Lighthouse automatically will render links, so entering http://entp.com will spit out http://entp.com.

To create inline links using Markdown, you would simply use the following:

Lighthouse which will make a Lighthouse a link.
Code Blocks

By using @@@ wrappers around your code, you can create code blocks for posting code into your tickets.

@@@ javascript
var bar = function() {
// function code here
}
@@@

will render…

var bar = function() {
// function code here
}

Headers
