This is a detailed tutorial on how to format text and elements to your liking in the forums



Text formatting Bold, Italics ,strikethrough.


:::



  • For Bold click the B button on top your writing sheet or add 2 asterisks " ** " at the beginning and at end of a word or line.
    Example:
    Format

    Example:

    Example:

~~Strikethrough~~


Result

For making Lists.


:::


click the alt text button or put a single asterisk " * " at the beginning of the word or line leaving a single space..
Example:


Format
* Bird
* Dog
* Cow


Result



  • Bird

  • Dog

:::


For using headers


:::


Add 1-6 hash characters at the start of the line, corresponding to header levels 1-6. Note - leave a space between the group of hashes and the text example: ( # text)
Example:


Format
# This is an H1
## This is an H2

For using Blockquates


:::


Add a " > " before the line you want to Blockquote. Blockquote also allows you to be lazy and put a single " > " before the first line of a hand warped paragraph.
Example:


Format
>Blockquote

Blockquote



Blockquotes can be nested (i.e. a blockquote-in-a-blockquote) by adding additional levels of " > "
Example:


Format
> This is the first level of quoting.
>
> > This is nested blockquote.
>
> Back to the first level.


Result



This is the first level of quoting.



This is nested blockquote.



Back to the first level..

To produce horizontal rules.

Place 3 or more asterisks " * " or underscores on a line by themselves. You can also put places between them.
Example

To use Code Blocks

Simply indent every line of the block by at least 4 spaces or 4 backticks on top and below text.
Example:


Format
(4 literall spaces) Code Block
or
````

To use code block always put the text in a new line and not a continuation of text.
Multiple lines can be also put in a Code block but the first line of it has to start in a new line
Example


Format


(4 spaces) This is
(4 spaces) a Code block


Result


This is 
a Code Block

To make markdown treat indicators of emphasis as literal.


:::


To make markdown treats certain characters like asterisk ( * ) and underscores ( _ ) as indicators of emphasis as literal all you have to do is backslash ( \ ) escape it.

If you dont use backslash and just use 2 asterisks ( ** ) at the beginning or end of a word or sentence then it will be shown as Bold.

Making copy-able Application forms.(For Groups/Sqauds/Company)


I see many groups in forums who have application forms which are formatted but the format is not copy-able.
to make copy-able formats follow this tutorial


Test Application form
Name: <answer>
Age: <answer>
Country: <answer>
Gender: <answer>


Now to make the above application format copy-able, I will simply use backslash escape. To use it just add a backslash ( \ ) behind every first group of emphasis indicators (here asterisks ( ** ) for emphasis of Bold).


Format:
\*\*Name:** <answer>
\*\*Age:** <answer>
\*\*Country:** <answer>
\*\*Gender:** <answer>


Result
**Name:** <answer>
**Age:** <answer>
**Country:** <answer>
**Gender:** <answer>



Miscellaneous


Getting annoyed from how images only load when u scroll too them? Use this.


:::


go to Profile>Settings>Browsing settings> and untick "Delay Image Loading"
~[Do it only if you think your internet can handle it.]~(red)



:::


Enabling Notification tones.


Go to Profile>Settings and scroll down to "Notification and Sounds"
P.S. Deddle-dum is a cool notification sound try it.

Forum is now updated to the latest version of its software.


The plugins installed which handle the above should still work correctly.
