  • #### POINT: This is a point
  • * point: This is a point
  • + Point: This is a point
  • - pOINT: This is a point
  • point: This is a **point**

Note that any markdown used in the point text will also be propagated into the topic summaries.

Topics

  • # Topic: Inline discussion topic 1
  • ## TOPIC: **{+A Green, bolded topic+}**
  • ### tOpIc: Another topic
