Zero-X Atlas: error code lookup for patch remediation and desktop support

Formatting help

Zero-X Atlas uses GitHub Flavored Markdown: CommonMark plus tables, task lists, strikethrough and automatic links (the GFM specification), and GitHub's callouts, footnotes, links to headings and common emoji. Where you can type more than a few words, you can use it. Commands you put in code become boxes that select with one click.

What differs from GitHub: raw HTML is always shown as text, only screenshots stored here are drawn, and there is no math or diagram support. The table at the bottom lists everything.

Where it works

Field	What you can use
Description, steps, cause details, a script's description, notes on any case or verification	Full markdown
Message, cause in one line, titles, a script's summary, alias descriptions	Inline only: bold, italic, code, links, emoji
Names, codes, computer, Windows build	Plain text
