There's two useful Zulip formatting features I just learned about:
Timezone aware time
Start typing <time and a datetime picker shows up. Select a date and time and it will be displayed for everyone in their local timezone.
For example: The next FHIR-I call starts at .
Spoiler block
While officially meant for spoilers it can be abused to have a collapse/expand block in your text for any reason:

The "spoilers" work for me on android. And viewing >times works too (I can't create one though)

Chris Moesel (Feb 12 2021 at 19:27):
Right. We'd like to get FSH highlighting in Zulip too. It just hasn't made it to the top of our todo list yet. If anyone wants to take it up, they're more than welcome to!
