formatting posts with Markdown
Remember that anything that works with the HTML option will also work with the Markdown option!
I've also posted these examples on TootCat so you can see how they look in practice.
Character formatting:
=====================
* **bold**
* *italic*
* ~~strike~~
* _underline_
* `[link text](URL)` e.g. [toot.cat](https://toot.cat) - URL must include protocol://
* ^superscript -- like: E=MC^2
* I don't know how to turn it off without a space.
* You can even do supersuperscript: Normal^super^hyper makes "hyper" look like a superscript on "super" -- both higher and smaller
Lists:
======
* bullet item one
* bullet item two
* sub-item for item 2 (2 spaces per indent)
* bullet item three
1. numbered list item 1
2. numbered list item 2
Fixed-pitch:
============
`inline fixed-pitch text`
```
multiline fixed-pitch text:
multiple lines
of fixed-pitch font
(for pasting code examples and such)
```
Syntax highlighting does not seem to be supported at present. (Tsk tsk.)
Text blocks:
============
# Header 1
## Header 2
### Header 3
> quote-indented text
Be sure to leave a blank line after the last bit of indented text, or the renderer may decide it should also be indented. (Nobody knows why.)
Further Reading on Markdown
Note that TootCat only supports a small subset of Markdown.
