Markdown does't work for git commits

How to Use GitLab
1

I’m running off the 6.6-stable branch and reading through the documentation for markdown it indicates that markdown is available for commits but any commit I make into a project doesn’t convert the markdown.

I’m trying to put in links and add a list to the comment.

Thanks for your help,

Its mentioned in the documentation page for Gitlab Flavored Markdown under /help/markdown:

Oh yes. From my understanding, only GitLab flavored markdown works, which is reference to issues, mrs, snippets, cross reference, etc. The standard markdown isn’t supported.
