I was asked about which Markdown, HTML, and BBCode would work in the forums. I’m no expert, but I found a small guide that I’ve been trying out. Here’s some of the more useful ones I’ve found that work so far.
Spacing:
Line Breaks: <br>
Horizontal Line:
Just place three *** or --- on a line with a line of space on either side.
Aligning Text:
This allows you to place your text or images ...
<div align="center">
... in the center of the post.
</div>
This allows you to place your text or images …
… in the center of the post.
Abbreviations:
Hover over the abbreviation to have it spelled out.
<abbr title='laugh out loud'>lol</abbr>
lol
Tables:
You can click the "Insert Table" option in the Gear icon above, but this also works.
|row 1|column 2|column 3|
|---|---|---|
|row 2|column 2|column 3|
|row 3|column 2|column 3|
|row 4|column 2|column 3|
If you want to align columns in particular ways, format the second row like this:
|:---|:---:|---:|
| row 1 | column 2 | column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| row 2 | column 2 | column 3 |
| row 3 | column 2 | column 3 |
| row 4 | column 2 | column 3 |
Headers:
Place <h1>Header</h1> to create a header. Changing the number adjusts the size.
<h1>Main</h1>
<h2>Second</h2>
<h3>Third</h3>
<h4>Fourth</h4>
<h5>Fifth</h5>
Main
Second
Third
Fourth
Fifth
Text Sizing:
This uses a <big>big</big> typeface while this uses a <small>small</small> typeface.
Meanwhile, this uses a <small><small> really small </small></small> typeface.
This uses a big typeface while this uses a small typeface.
Meanwhile, this uses a really small typeface.
The main thing I still can’t seem to find is how to do in line colors.
So far the best I've found is the colors given with these commands:
Red crossed out:
<del>delete</del>
Green underlined:
<ins>insert</ins>
delete
insert
I hope this helps anyone interested! If you know more about this and want to share any additional tips you’ve found, please do.
