09/27/2019, 5:13 PMHi guys! Is there any way to use triple backticks in KDoc and still have links inside?

I want to do something like that in the docs of that interface.
If I don't use ``` then the formatting is not kept. If I use it, then the link is lost.
Sorry If I wasn't clear before 🙂

09/27/2019, 5:31 PMAh, you're not using it for code. Fair enough. It seems like a bit of a hack though. That's not really the purpose of ``` as far as I'm aware.

09/27/2019, 5:37 PMThe table shorthand syntax in that question is non-standard (I believe it's part of the GitHub markdown extensions). You should be able to use the HTML tags just fine.

09/27/2019, 5:44 PMDang. I wonder why. Well, I guess you can vote for the issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-16228
I guess you're right. It does appear to be an IDE issue. The shorthand does get rendered properly by Dokka, just not in IDEA.

Just in case someone is reading this, in my case I can just use bullet points with
