The Problem

Slack mangles your markdown into raw symbols

You copy a response from ChatGPT or Claude, paste it into Slack, and the formatting is all wrong. Double asterisks instead of bold, hash marks instead of headings, pipe characters instead of tables.

What works in Slack

Honest breakdown of what transfers and what doesn't.

Bold, italic & strikethrough

Full support

Converted to Slack’s mrkdwn format: *bold*, _italic_, ~strikethrough~. All render correctly after posting.

Inline code & code blocks

Full support

Inline code renders in pink monospace. Code blocks use Slack’s native triple-backtick formatting with gray background.

Links

Full support

Converted to Slack’s native link format. Render as clickable text after posting.

Lists (flat)

Full support

Unordered and ordered lists render with bullet points and numbers. Flat lists work perfectly.

Blockquotes

Full support

Converted to Slack’s native > quote formatting with gray left border. Multi-line blockquotes work correctly.

Nested lists

Partial support

Child items appear indented in the composer but indentation is text-based. When posted, nested items may lose their visual hierarchy.

Headings

Not supported

Slack has no concept of headings. All heading levels (H1–H6) render as plain bold text with no hierarchy.

Tables

Not supported

Slack has no table support. Tables render as plain text with pipe characters. No grid, no formatting.
