Document markdown color rendering #17312
Description
Code of Conduct
- I have read and agree to the GitHub Docs project's Code of Conduct
What article on docs.github.com is affected?
One of the following:
- Basic writing and formatting syntax
- Under the "Quoting code" section OR
- Under its own section
- Working with advanced formatting having its own page?
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
I have noticed recently that wrapping color in markdown code syntax renders the color. I'm not sure if this is new behavior, but either way, I don't believe this is documented anywhere. I thought it was cool, and it would be nice to have this documented.
I'm not entirely sure the best location to put this. You can see my suggestions above, but I don't think this is extensive enough to have its own page? I wouldn't mind writing and opening a PR documenting this, but I first would love some feedback as to where this would be best placed. Thanks!
