You can use emoji anywhere GitLab Flavored Markdown is supported. 
You can use it to point out a

. All you need to do is to look up one of the supported codes.
Consult the [Emoji Cheat Sheet](https://www.webfx.com/tools/emoji-cheat-sheet/) for a list of all supported emoji codes. 
#### Emoji and your OS
The emoji example above uses hard-coded images for this documentation. Rendered emoji
in GitLab may appear different depending on the OS and browser used.
Most emoji are natively supported on macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and fall back on image-based
emoji where there is no support.
On Linux, you can download [Noto Color Emoji](https://www.google.com/get/noto/help/emoji/)
to get full native emoji support. Ubuntu 18.04 (like many modern Linux distributions) has
this font installed by default.
### Front matter
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/merge_requests/23331) in GitLab 11.6.
Front matter is metadata included at the beginning of a Markdown document, preceding
its content. This data can be used by static site generators such as [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/front-matter/),
[Hugo](https://gohugo.io/content-management/front-matter/), and many other applications.
When you view a Markdown file rendered by GitLab, any front matter is displayed as-is,
in a box at the top of the document. The HTML content displays after the front matter. To view an example,
you can toggle between the source and rendered version of a
[GitLab documentation file](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/doc/README.md).
In GitLab, front matter is only used in Markdown files and wiki pages, not the other
places where Markdown formatting is supported. It must be at the very top of the document
and must be between delimiters, as explained below.
The following delimiters are supported:
- YAML (`---`):
```yaml
---
title: About Front Matter
example:
language: yaml
---
```
- TOML (`+++`):
```toml
+++
title = "About Front Matter"
[example]
language = "toml"
+++
```
- JSON (`;;;`):
```json
;;;
{
"title": "About Front Matter"
"example": {
"language": "json"
}
}
;;;
```
Other languages are supported by adding a specifier to any of the existing
delimiters. For example:
```php
---php
$title = "About Front Matter";
$example = array(
'language' => "php",
);
---
```
### Inline diff
If this section isn't rendered correctly, [view it in GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/doc/user/markdown.md#inline-diff).
With inline diff tags you can display `{+ additions +}` or `[- deletions -]`.
The wrapping tags can be either curly braces or square brackets:
```markdown
- {+ addition 1 +}
- [+ addition 2 +]
- {- deletion 3 -}
- [- deletion 4 -]
```
---
However, the wrapping tags can't be mixed:
```markdown
- {+ addition +]
- [+ addition +}
- {- deletion -]
- [- deletion -}
```
If your diff includes words in `` `code` `` font, make sure to escape each backtick `` ` `` with a
backslash `\`, otherwise the diff highlight don't render correctly:
```markdown
- {+ Just regular text +}
- {+ Text with `backticks` inside +}
- {+ Text with escaped \`backticks\` inside +}
```
### Math
If this section is not rendered correctly, [view it in GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/doc/user/markdown.md#math).
It's possible to have math written with LaTeX syntax rendered using [KaTeX](https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX).
Math written between dollar signs `$` are rendered inline with the text. Math written
inside a [code block](#code-spans-and-blocks) with the language declared as `math`, are rendered
on a separate line:
````markdown
This math is inline $`a^2+b^2=c^2`$.
This is on a separate line
```math
a^2+b^2=c^2
```
````
This math is inline $`a^2+b^2=c^2`$.
This is on a separate line
```math
a^2+b^2=c^2
```
_Be advised that KaTeX only supports a [subset](https://katex.org/docs/supported.html) of LaTeX._
This also works for the Asciidoctor `:stem: latexmath`. For details, see
the [Asciidoctor user manual](https://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#activating-stem-support).
### Special GitLab references
GitLab Flavored Markdown recognizes special GitLab related references. For example, you can reference
an issue, a commit, a team member, or even an entire project team. GitLab Flavored Markdown turns
that reference into a link so you can navigate between them.
Additionally, GitLab Flavored Markdown recognizes certain cross-project references and also has a shorthand
version to reference other projects from the same namespace.
GitLab Flavored Markdown recognizes the following:
| references | input | cross-project reference | shortcut inside same namespace |
| :------------------------------ | :------------------------- | :-------------------------------------- | :----------------------------- |
| specific user | `@user_name` | | |
| specific group | `@group_name` | | |
| entire team | `@all` | | |
| project | `namespace/project>` | | |
| issue | ``#123`` | `namespace/project#123` | `project#123` |
| merge request | `!123` | `namespace/project!123` | `project!123` |
| snippet | `$123` | `namespace/project$123` | `project$123` |
| epic **(ULTIMATE)** | `&123` | `group1/subgroup&123` | |
| vulnerability **(ULTIMATE)** (1)| `[vulnerability:123]` | `[vulnerability:namespace/project/123]` | `[vulnerability:project/123]` |
| feature flag | `[feature_flag:123]` | `[feature_flag:namespace/project/123]` | `[feature_flag:project/123]` |
| label by ID | `~123` | `namespace/project~123` | `project~123` |
| one-word label by name | `~bug` | `namespace/project~bug` | `project~bug` |
| multi-word label by name | `~"feature request"` | `namespace/project~"feature request"` | `project~"feature request"` |
| scoped label by name | `~"priority::high"` | `namespace/project~"priority::high"` | `project~"priority::high"` |
| project milestone by ID | `%123` | `namespace/project%123` | `project%123` |
| one-word milestone by name | `%v1.23` | `namespace/project%v1.23` | `project%v1.23` |
| multi-word milestone by name | `%"release candidate"` | `namespace/project%"release candidate"` | `project%"release candidate"` |
| specific commit | `9ba12248` | `namespace/project@9ba12248` | `project@9ba12248` |
| commit range comparison | `9ba12248...b19a04f5` | `namespace/project@9ba12248...b19a04f5` | `project@9ba12248...b19a04f5` |
| repository file references | `[README](doc/README.md)` | | |
| repository file line references | `[README](doc/README.md#L13)` | | |
| [alert](../operations/incident_management/alerts.md) | `^alert#123` | `namespace/project^alert#123` | `project^alert#123` |
1. [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/222483) in GitLab 13.7.
For example, referencing an issue by using `#123` formats the output as a link
to issue number 123 with text `#123`. Likewise, a link to issue number 123 is
recognized and formatted with text `#123`. If you don't want `#123` to link to an issue,
add a leading backslash `\#123`.
In addition to this, links to some objects are also recognized and formatted. Some examples of these are:
- Comments on issues: `"https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/1234#note_101075757"`, which are rendered as `#1234 (comment 101075757)`
- The issues designs tab: `"https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/1234/designs"`, which are rendered as `#1234 (designs)`.
- Links to individual designs: `"https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/1234/designs/layout.png"`, which are rendered as `#1234[layout.png]`.
### Task lists
If this section isn't rendered correctly, [view it in GitLab itself](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/doc/user/markdown.md#task-lists).
You can add task lists anywhere Markdown is supported, but only issues, merge requests, and
comments support clicking to toggle the boxes. In other
places, you must edit the Markdown manually to change the status by adding or
removing an `x` inside the square brackets.
To create a task list, add a specially-formatted Markdown list. You can use either
unordered or ordered lists:
```markdown
- [x] Completed task
- [ ] Incomplete task
- [ ] Sub-task 1
- [x] Sub-task 2
- [ ] Sub-task 3
1. [x] Completed task
1. [ ] Incomplete task
1. [ ] Sub-task 1
1. [x] Sub-task 2
```
### Table of contents
Add a table of contents to a Markdown file, wiki page, issue request, or merge request
description by adding the tag `[[_TOC_]]` on its own line.
It displays an unordered list that links to subheadings in the document.
```markdown
This is an intro sentence to my Wiki page.
[[_TOC_]]
## My first heading
First section content.
## My second heading
Second section content.
```
### Wiki-specific Markdown
The following examples show how links inside wikis behave.
#### Wiki - direct page link
A link which just includes the slug for a page points to that page,
_at the base level of the wiki_.
This snippet would link to a `documentation` page at the root of your wiki:
```markdown
[Link to Documentation](documentation)
```
#### Wiki - direct file link
Links with a file extension point to that file, _relative to the current page_.
If the snippet below was placed on a page at `A footnote reference tag looks like this: [^1]
This reference tag is a mix of letters and numbers. [^footnote-42]
[^1]: This is the text inside a footnote.
[^footnote-42]: This is another footnote.
