GitLab Flavored Markdown (GFM)

For GitLab we developed something we call GitLab Flavored Markdown (GFM).

It extends the standard Markdown in a few significant ways to add some useful functionality.

You can use GFM in

• commit messages

• comments

• issues

• merge requests

• milestones

• wiki pages

You can also use other rich text files in GitLab.

You might have to install a dependency to do so.

Please see the github-markup gem readme for more information.
