Markdown Formatting

Tiki Central's new formatting is called Markdown. Here's a quick rundown:

Images

You can display an image by adding ! and wrapping the alt text in [ ]. Then wrap the link for the image in parentheses ().

Example:

![This is an image](https://tikicentral.com/images/logo.gif)

Output:

Styling Text

Style	Syntax	Example	Output
Bold	** **	**This is bold text**	This is bold text
Italic	* *	*This text is italicized*	This text is italicized
Strikethrough	~~ ~~	~~This was mistaken text~~	This was mistaken text
All bold and italic	*** ***	***All this text is important***	All this text is important

Quoting Text

You can quote text with a > at the start of each line.

Example:

Text that is not a quote
                
> Text that is a quote

Output:

Links

You can create an inline link by wrapping link text in brackets [ ], and then wrapping the URL in parentheses ( ).

Example:

Checkout [mytiki.life](https://mytiki.life).

Output:

Lists

You can make an unordered list by preceding one or more lines of text with - or *.

Example:

* Item 1
* Item 2

Output:

To order your list, precede each line with a number..

Example:

1. Item 1
2. Item 2

Output:

Line Breaks

To create a line break or new line, end a line with two or more spaces, and then type return.

Example (dots represent spaces):

First line··
Second line

Output:

Alternatively use a backslash (easier to see).

Example:

First line\
Second line

Output:

Mentions

You can mention another member by prepending the @ symbol and wrapping their username in [] square brackets.

Example:

[@MadDogMike]

Make sure you have the correct capitalisation, spaces and spelling.

Smileys

Use Emjoi! (but don't abuse emjoi!).
