Guide: Write cool posts and comments with Markdown for newbies

Hey everyone, I figured that some new users might not know that comments and posts have a formatting standard called Markdown.In simple terms, Markdown is a (semi)universal language that uses formatting symbols to give a certain style to a portion of text.This quick guide can help you to write in a way that's more appealing and easy to read.

You can also do unordered lists using "-" at the beginning of each line:

Salt Potatoes Beans

will become

• Salt
• Potatoes
• Beans

Or ordered list by putting "1." at the beginning of each line:

1 Salt2 Potatoes3 Beans

will become

1. Salt
2. Potatoes
3. Beans

You can save other users from spoilers by encasing a paragraph between a section that starts with " followed by a space and the word "spoiler" + the title of the spoiler and ends with "". The spoiler will be hidden inside a menu and you'll be able to see it if you click on it

spoiler warning! spoiler!the butler did it

will become

In the end you can also format big code blocks by putting "```" at the beginning and at the end of each paragraph

`` println("Hello World!")``

will become

    
    println("Hello World!")  

  

Last but not least remember that you can always use break formatting syntax by putting "" in front of a character:so if I want "" in my text without having the rest of the paragraph in superscript, I'm simply going to write ""

Now go and have fun!
