Formating text with Markdown

Markdown allows you to write using an easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format, that is converted HTML. This allows you to use rich text formatting, include images and create links. You can use markdown in story titles, story descriptions and when writing comments.

Here's a few examples of how to use markdown:

Bold & Italics
To use bold or italic text, you use asterisks (*) and underscores (_)

*single asterisks* – produces italic text: single asterisks
**double asterisks** – produces bold text: single asterisks
_single underscores_ – produces italic text: single underscores
__double underscores__ – produces bold text: single underscores

Links
To link to website, image or document, use the following:
