The Slack post interface has a Markdown editor with a real-time conversion feature, that is, the formatting of the content is shown as you type. In the Slack API documentation you can check more information about compatibility. It is worth noting that the information above refers to messages used in the Slack user interface, when we use Slack's API for messages we get greater support for Markdown additional elements, elements that are not compatible with the user interface. Surround content with just one tilde, example: ~Lorem~. But you can still drag and drop an image file directly into the interface. The Slack message editor does not provide support for Markdown formatting images.
