Add Markdown toolbar to description templates text areas
This an actionable insight from the Code Review FY21-Q2 Category Maturity Scorecard research (insight).
What
In research we identified that participants were not sure if the inputs for the default description templates accepted Markdown. They saw the help text below the input that said “Description parsed with GitLab Flavored Markdown”, but still were not sure.
Why
This may be due to the absence of the usual “Markdown toolbar” available at the top of almost all Markdown areas. Or maybe participants were not familiar with what “GitLab Flavored Markdown” meant.
How
- Add Markdown toolbar to default description templates text areas
- Simplify the help text to avoid word like “parsed” and “GitLab Flavored”
