Text

  • Bold → press the B or **B**
  • Itallic → press the I or _I_ *I*
  • Strikethrough → Strikethrough = ~~Strikethrough~~
  • Inserted Text (Green Background) → Hello! = <ins>Hello!</ins>

Linking and Images

This is something that at first seems like you can not do this unless you are Level 3 Trusted. However, you can get around this by using code blocks which disables the direct linking. This also makes it easier for others to copy and paste your links without having to do odd things with spaces and such.

note: for images do the same as for normal links. copy the shareable or direct link and then surround it put it between code blocks. direct links point directly to the image as you will see below.

Line Break and Horizontal Lines

  • Horizontal Lines →
    —___ *** (x3) dash, underscore, or asterisk. these all look the same so it doesnt matter which you use.

    normal text…
    spacing between lines

edit:

  • changed Headers to markdown equivalent instead of tags.
  • added extra explanation in ‘linking’ for images since it is a common to see ppl dont know this.
  • did some text cleanup and editing to make it better. (6/2019)
  • cleaned up ‘code block’ section to be easier to read. pictures have been replaced by all text. (6/2019)
  • links added for easier navigation to the section you are interested in (7/2019)
  • added index button to take you back to the top of the post (8/2019)
