Text Formatting

When sending text on behalf of a bot in Snack or Github, several formatting options are available:

• Snack - we use regular markdown, with a twist of Wilco. Read all about this below.
• GitHub - uses GitHub flavored markdown (GFM). You can read more about it on their documentation, or check out the full GitHub Flavored Markdown Spec.

Code Instructions

Use :codeInstruction[you should open a PR right away]{block=true} to create a block with the code instruction highlighted

Links

You can create an inline link by wrapping link text in brackets [ ], and then wrapping the URL in parentheses ( ): [link text](url). e.g., [Wilco Homepage](https://app.wilco.gg/home).

GIFs and Images

You can add GIFs and images in Snack messages using the following format: ![](url)

 - actionId: bot_message
    params:
      person: keen
      messages:
      - text: "![](https://media.giphy.com/media/l2QE93CiS1hR6WbK0/giphy.gif)"
        delay: 0
      - text: Hey again!
        delay: 1500

Functions

You can also use a basic JS functions manipulations like slice split substring or toUpperCase. You can also have all the Lodash utility functions, and you can use it by Lodash.someX...
