Share a .md or .markdown file and Arialine can render it into a native Slack Canvas. Headings, lists, and tables are converted to Canvas content. Mermaid code blocks are rendered as diagrams and embedded as images.

You can paste Markdown into a message and use the Render as canvas message shortcut, use the Markdown to canvas global shortcut to upload a file, or DM a Markdown file directly to Arialine. A shared Markdown file can render automatically when the channel setting is enabled.

Automatic rendering of shared Markdown files is controlled per channel with /arialine md auto on|off. The resulting Canvas link can be posted in the source thread or as a new message using /arialine md thread|new.
