Another useful discovery from Kanshi Tanaike this time highlighting the ability to use markdown in Google Apps Script code comments. For those unfamiliar, [JSDoc**](https://jsdoc.app/about-getting-started.html) is the syntax used to automatically generate inline documentation in [Google Sheets custom functions,**](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/sheets/functions#autocomplete) [Libraries**](https://developers.google.com/apps-script/guides/libraries#best_practices) as well as function references in your script project. As highlighted in the post as well as being able to add `@constructor` tags, developers can use markdown syntax to provide additional formatting to documentation comments. See the source post for details of supported markdown syntax.
