Markdown Text Formatting

This website is using a modified version of markdown for posts and comments. Some regular features are not supported, while other features are added.

Markdown in useful to add style to the text.
For example here is a text that I will write in the editor:

# Header

Some nomral text. *Some italic text.* More normal text.

## Second level header

Text with some **bold characters**. A [link to wikipedia.](https://wikipedia.org)

A separation line:

___________________________

And an image:

![Which even has an alt text](/icon/image)

or I can even nest an image into a link:

[![icon](/icon/link)](https://wikipedia.org)

> And of course a quote.

And this is what this text will look like in the page:

Some nomral text. Some italic text. More normal text.

Second level header

Text with some bold characters. A link to wikipedia.

A separation line:

And an image:

or I can even nest an image into a link:

And of course a quote.

Comments

Additionally it supports other things as well. Such as quoting a user:

@blenderdumbass

Adding a @ symbol in front of a username will make a link to the user. And writing it in a comment will also notify the user.

c:0

Comments have codes to them such as c:0 or c:1 or other. You can make a blank line with a reference to a comment like this.

Source code

To do little code snippets you can use the ` on either side. Like this:

To do something to may want to run the `HelloWorld()` function.

Which will look like this:

To do something to may want to run the HelloWorld() function.

For multi-line code you can use ``` on either side. Make sure they are the only thing in the line:

Here is some code in python:
```
def HelloWorld():
    print("Hello World")
HelloWorld()
```

It will render like this:

Here is some code in python:

def HelloWorld():
    print("Hello World")
HelloWorld()

For more complex codes like when you want to show the ` character itself, please use the HTML escape codes.

Media Files

You can link a video or an audio file like this:

Big Buck Bunny:
![video](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/c/c0/Big_Buck_Bunny_4K.webm/Big_Buck_Bunny_4K.webm.720p.vp9.webm)

The Free Software Song:
![audio](https://www.gnu.org/music/FreeSWSong.ogg)

Which will look like this:

Icon Links

For user profiles it is useful to link many different social medias. And for that you can use icon links. Like so:

![mastodon](http://joinmastodon.org) ![peertube](https://joinpeertube.org)

Which will look like this:

This uses the full list of icons that come with the software. The full list is available to see here.
