When you enter the description, you can use Markdown to format your text. You can also format text in YouTrack Wiki syntax, but Markdown is preferred.

The text below the Description field gives you a few hints for using Markdown syntax. To see a complete list of formatting options, click the Markdown link to open the syntax list, then click the help icon to open the YouTrack Markup Reference page. For more information, see Markdown Syntax.

To attach an image or a file, just drop it on the page. You can also click the Show more button in the toolbar and choose from one of the available attachment options.
