FAQ
Can I format project names, label names, and filter names as well?
No, hypertext, bold text, and italic text are all only supported in task names and comments.
How can I add a link that includes a parenthesis, like http://www.test.com/types_of_apples(fruit)?
You have to encode the parenthesis in the URL using percent-encoding. For this link, "(" should be replaced with "%28" and ")" should be replaced with "%29". So the URL to use in Todoist would be: http://www.test.com/types_of_apples%28fruit%29
