# Message formatting
|
|
|
|
Zulip supports an extended version of Markdown for messages, as well as
|
|
some HTML level special behavior. The Zulip help center article on [message
|
|
formatting](/help/format-your-message-using-markdown) is the primary
|
|
documentation for Zulip's markup features. This article is currently a
|
|
changelog for updates to these features.
|
|
|
|
The [render a message](/api/render-message) endpoint can be used to get
|
|
the current HTML version of any Markdown syntax for message content.
|
|
|
|
## Code blocks
|
|
|
|
**Changes**: As of Zulip 4.0 (feature level 33), [code blocks][help-code]
|
|
can have a `data-code-language` attribute attached to the outer HTML
|
|
`div` element, which records the programming language that was selected
|
|
for syntax highlighting. This field is used in the
|
|
[playgrounds][help-playgrounds] feature for code blocks.
|
|
|
|
## Global times
|
|
|
|
**Changes**: In Zulip 3.0 (feature level 8), added [global time
|
|
mentions][help-global-time] to supported Markdown message formatting
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
## Mentions
|
|
|
|
**Changes**: In Zulip 9.0 (feature level 247), `channel` was added
|
|
to the supported [wildcard][help-mention-all] options used in the
|
|
[mentions][help-mentions] Markdown message formatting feature.
|
|
|
|
## Spoilers
|
|
|
|
**Changes**: In Zulip 3.0 (feature level 15), added
|
|
[spoilers][help-spoilers] to supported Markdown message formatting
|
|
features.
|
|
|
|
## Removed features
|
|
|
|
**Changes**: In Zulip 4.0 (feature level 24), the rarely used `!avatar()`
|
|
and `!gravatar()` markup syntax, which was never documented and had an
|
|
inconsistent syntax, were removed.
