Tell HN: Microsoft Teams no longer supports pasting Markdown links

by LorenDB·3y ago·0 comments·view on hn ↗
Microsoft Teams has had a subset of Markdown implemented for a while (although it wasn't a completely conformant implementation; single asterisks around text like this produces bold text instead of italics, while _underscores_ do produce italics). However, I have discovered, to my deep disappointment, that Teams no longer will properly handle Markdown links.

EDIT: I just realized that this only applies to copy-pasted links. This is really bad, though: Most people only copy-paste URLs; typing a URL by hand is uncommon. Anyway, back to past me:

I don't know if any Microsoft Teams developers lurk here, but if you do, could you please try to get Markdown support back to Commonmark compliance? I'd love to get a truly compliant Markdown entry, even if it was hidden behind a setting. At the very least though, links should be fixed.
