AI-generated from the code · Odoo 13.0

Lets users write project task descriptions in Markdown and see them rendered as formatted text. The Description tab on the task form uses a Markdown editor instead of a plain text box.

This module changes how the Description field works on project tasks. Instead of a plain text area, the Description tab of the task form now uses a Markdown editor, so users can type simple markup (headings, bold, lists, links) and have it displayed as formatted content.

Where it appears: - On the project task form, the Description page is replaced by a version that uses the Markdown widget.

What it changes: - The description field on project.task is kept as a text field, but it is shown with the Markdown editor widget. - The task form view inherited from the standard project task form is modified so the description page uses this widget.

What it does not do: - The code does not add new menus, buttons, reports, automated actions, emails or scheduled jobs. - It does not add new fields or business rules; it only changes the editing and display of the existing description.

It relies on the Markdown editor provided by the web_widget_text_markdown module, so that module must be installed for the editor to work. The change is limited to project tasks and does not affect other areas of Odoo.
