  4. Switch between the Plain Text and Markdown output tabs.
  5. Click Copy Board to copy the current output.
  6. Load the agile board or personal todo sample to explore.

FAQ

What does the WIP limit do?
It caps the number of tasks allowed in that column; 0 disables the limit and over-limit columns show a warning.
How do I move tasks?
Hover a task to reveal the left and right arrow buttons and move it to an adjacent column; the x button deletes it.
How does Markdown decide the [x] marker?
Tasks in a column named Done are rendered as - [x]; all other columns render - [ ].
What happens if I remove a task from the input?
The matching task is removed from the board as well.
How many columns can I have?
Any number of columns, but at least one is required.
