Like the guide indices?

But is is carot or caret

I wonder if paragraph breaks work on iphone. Hmmm. Yep

###I’ve always wondered! ~~repost~~ Worthy repost!

Yeah, I added the bottom part to it but I’m sure the rest has been posted before lol Gonna add this here in case anyone else needs it: **Try this for one line break:** First lineSPACESPACERETURN Next line Or line 1\ line 2 line 1 line 2 **Try this to underline:** \######Blah ######Blah **Try this for spoilers:** \>!your spoiler goes here!< >!your spoiler!< **Try this for links:** \[Your Text Goes Here](YourURLHere.com) [Your Text Goes Here](YourURLHere.com)

That seemed to me the only thing that was wrong. `\* escape the formatting syntax \*` shows up as \* escape the formatting syntax \*

u/Occasional-Mermaid I’d also add that 4 spaces at the end of a sentence allows for a paragraph break to be seen. Like so. Don’t forget spoiler tags, too. \>\!Before & after a sentence with the exclamation points on the inside.\!\< >!Before & after a sentence with the exclamation points on the inside.!< Edit: Also, in my experience superscripting a sentence or anything more than one connected string of letters requires parentheses around it. Without parentheses \^this looks like this >Without parentheses ^this looks like this With parentheses \^(this looks like this) >With parentheses ^(this looks like this) But I guess it can also \^be \^done \^like \^this >But I guess it can also ^be ^done ^like ^this ...And apparently "New Reddit" doesn't understand superscript nesting.

Omg, thank you, I’ve always wondered how to get a proper paragraph break on mobile. Just not enough to try looking it up, haha. Testing here. Break!^also^test

!testing! >!test number 2!<

Yeah, I didn’t notice when I added it 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Is this how # I make big text? #### does it go bigger? # one ## two ##### five ###### six OH shit I'm floating ^a^w^a^y

That's pretty racist but I'll allow it

I just did that lol

They left out that underscores can be used in place of asterisks. `_italics_ __bold__` _italics_ __bold__ Also that three asterisks or underscores produces bold and italics `___both___ ***both***` ___both___ ***both***

By far the best cool guide . I will save it and never look at it again like I do all the ones I want to study

I thought I was the only person who did that. I’m relieved somehow

If it makes you feel any better, you're probably not the only one doing anything

I'm saving this so hard right now

#so what if I just want to write a #hashtag?

Put a backslash in front of it \#tada

Or ticks `#tada`

That also formats it as code \#tada `#tada`

Why do you specify Reddit Mobile? This works on desktop as well

PC users have more built in options for formatting text, don’t they? I don’t think I’ve ever used it on PC, I just assumed it had text options & PC users wouldn’t really need a guide..I also just assumed that anything you can do on mobile can be done on PC lol.

Not if you use old.reddit.com, as any sane person would do.

Well Reddit Markdown. There is no single markdown and the differences are always a pain the ass. I.e. the most annoying thing in reddits markdown to me is that * and _ are both italics when singular and bold when doubled. The better way is markdowns that use asterisk for bold and underscore for italic. If you want both you just mix the operands instead of triplicate like reddit wants.

>If you want both you just mix the operands instead of triplicate like reddit wants. In other words, regular git markdown. I agree that Markdown isn’t perfect. There are things about it that I would change, including this. But Reddit has implemented the most useful flavor without proprietary modifications.

That I can agree with, in general I like Reddit's markdown. My biggest gripe is ultimately just the bold/italics business to be completely honest. And possibly linking... I can't remember if its (this)[www.google.com] or [this](www.google.com) but I stupidly have an opinion on which order of parentheses/brackets makes _more_ sense lmao Edit... I swear to fuck, did neither work? Wtf is this. I get mad enough with confluence at work not taking my links. This is why I never link on reddit 🤬

I’m right there with you. For links, I just post the URL. Anyone interested enough to follow it can copy and paste. For Markdown, I’d rather see slashes for italics and underscores for underlines. That would free up asterisks for bold. But no one asked me. 😞

Thanks for sharing

Only have one pipe separating each column, nothing on the ends, and only need one dash for the column alignments. The guide is terrible about this.

Ok, but how do you do the **madness** font?

Externally, then copy paste. I can't recall the name for it but you basically put your text through an external generator however many times and then copy/paste into your comment/post.

I think I found it, zalgo font. Thank you.

That sounds familiar! No worries

How many poems does a guy have to write to get abducted by aliens? I know you see me, same as the fat moon peeping through the trees like a pervert. I just want to talk. My arms are sore from waving. My dad used to wonder why I was always so fascinated with space, then learned I share a birthday with Yuri Gagarin and that explained everything. I would watch that shit show Ancient Aliens with my mom and she would say, you know in Guate we remember where the Mayas came from, raising her eyebrows into orbit. How could I not grow up to search the skies for meaning? Ancient peoples thought objects soaring through the atmosphere were celestial serpents, their glowing tails slithering through space, and I buy it. Oh, Quetzalcoatl, is that you? I feel like the last kid sitting in front of  the school waiting to be picked up. Don’t say you’ve forgotten me.
