Support markdown notation for description fields
It would be great if .md (Markdown) notation, like in https://msdn.microsoft.com/Library/vs/alm/overview/reference/markdown-guidance, would be supported for text description fields for tasks, plans, buckets and other objects

Basic markdown in the description field and comments would add so much benefit.
Bold, italic, bullet list are used by my team in Trello on a daily basis. Almost seems hard switching services with this feature missing. -

I use Markdown in Trello constantly. Seems like a no-brainer to include it in Planner, especially in the Description field. It's incredibly frustrating that there're no formatting options included.

Markdown in the title field would be really useful... Trello can only to it with a custom extension. Can we have something similar?

Not just the text description fields, but the comment fields, and all other text block fields.

Like Trello does it :-) Key needs: Headers, bold, lists, hyperlinks.

This would definitely make the product more usable. Key needs: Headers, bold, italicize, lists, hyperlinks.

Another vote for Markdown or any other ability to format text for ordered / numbered and unordered / bulleted lists.

Even a subset of markdown, just sufficient to allow bold, italic, underline, bullets, and code block would be a step up. Particularly in the description, it would be very helpful to be able to format things for readability. Full markdown obviously preferred.

Something I constantly use in Trello and in every possible app I can find. For those looking for a work around, you can use an extension called Markdown Here [https://markdown-here.com] that allows you to write in Markdown Format and then right click the whole window or highlight text and convert accordingly. Native support would be preferred obviously.

Agreed. I'm so used to be able to do Markdown in similar tools and was quite surprised it was not possible in Planner.

Markdown everywhere! Trello supports it in card descriptions & comments and it makes a big difference to how engaging the software is.
