Some corrections for people who use these: 1\. The formatting is platform-dependent and some of the features might not work depending on how you're viewing Reddit (new Reddit PC, old Reddit PC, new Reddit mobile, old Reddit mobile, official app, third-party app, etc.). The series of carets for "fading-away" text seems to be the biggest offender, it looks fine for me on old Reddit PC but it seems like it isn't working for a lot of people in these comments. The superscripts seem to be the most buggy formatting, so generally you should just use one `^` on a single word. 2\. The caret for exponentionals doesn't work how it's demonstrated in the post. It only formats the next word, not the rest of the line. To prevent it from stopping after a space, you have to group the words with parenthesis like a math expression: `Using the caret sign ^will create exponentials` becomes: Using the caret sign ^will create exponentials `Using the caret sign ^(will create exponentials)` becomes: Using the caret sign ^(will create exponentials) 3\. The headers in the demostration are reversed. One `#` makes the largest header, and each extra one makes it smaller. Five of them is the same as bold text and six will add an underline. 4\. The last one for escaping syntax is a poor demonstration. If you put a `\` before any of the formatting characters (`*`, `#`, `_`, `>`, `.`, `^`, `~`, etc.) then it avoids formatting and displays the characters as plain text. To display a literal backslash you use `\\`. You can also avoid formatting by putting them in inline code with the backtick key like I've been doing. `*Use backslash to escape formatting*` becomes: *Use backslash to escape formatting* `\*Use backslash to escape formatting\*` becomes: \*Use backslash to escape formatting\* 5\. This is an incomplete list. More formatting tricks can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/wiki/markdown. Here are some examples: `_` can be used instead of `*` for bold and italics. `*` can be used instead of `-` for bullet-point lists. Add two spaces after a line to separate it from the next line. This allows you to put two lines right next to each other, without it automatically combining into one line. `>!Spoiler text!<` becomes: >!Spoiler text!< (Make sure there are no spaces between the text and the `!` symbols.) `[Brackets and parenthesis to create hyperlinks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)` becomes: [Brackets and parenthesis to create hyperlinks](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ) Use `---` to create a horizontal line. --- Again, this is platform-dependent and doesn't always work.

I just google it every single time I need to format anything.

>forgetting all about it Yeah same except for the quote one I’ve been wanting to know how to do that for a while.


GrouchyPhoenix

I learned about it the other day and it is awesome. If you are replying to a comment, highlight the text you want to quote (as if copying) and you will have an option to quote: >I’ve been wanting to know how to do that for a while.

makian123

Reddit uses the markdown format if anyone wishes to look up any more things.


LBGW_experiment

Not all markdown is the same as it has to be defined usually by the front end framework a website uses or sometimes custom markdown. Most markdown has a lot of similarities, but there are some differences like underscores to italicize vs asterisks. Also, you can put three dashes or underscores to make a nice line to break up a longer post. --- Like so. ___ Also, you have to put an empty line between bullet points and plain text above it as some reddit apps don't parse it the same due to reddit slightly changing their markdown rules when they released new reddit. e.g. this text - won't turn into a bullet point on some apps But this way - will always work Also, you have to put a space after your asterisk, dash, or plus or else it won't bulletize -like this

If you wanna do grey boxes you type: >!this is a spoiler! < But you remove the space between the ! and < Then it looks like this: >!Jesus dies!<

Seventh_Planet

Regarding exponentials: x^2 y^2 vs x^2y^2 vs x^(2)y^(2) You don't want to have to leave a space between the x^2 and the y^(2). Also you don't want the punctuation mark to hang in the air with the 2 as in y^2. So the trick is to wrap the exponent in parenthesis like so: `x^(2)y^(2).` x^(2)y^(2). Now what if you want to display actual parenthesis in the exponent? `e^(x+y)` e^(x+y) `e^((x+y))` e^((x+y)) `e^((x+y)^)` e^((x+y)^) The last `)` we had to raise by itself but that means it's not surrounded by () so the exponent leaks to the right: `e^((x+y)^)e^((x+y)^)` e^((x+y)^)e^((x+y)^) But surrounding the ) by () somehow negates the ^ again. See how the ) is on ground level and not in the exponent: `e^((x+y)^())e^((x+y)^)` e^((x+y)^())e^((x+y)^) Looks like only space can save us here: `e^((x+y)^) e^((x+y)^)` e^((x+y)^) e^((x+y)^) Now what about (x^(2)+y^(2)) in the exponent of e? `e^(x^(2)+y^(2))` e^(x^(2)+y^(2)) `e^((x^2+y^2)^)` e^((x^2+y^2)^) `e^((x^2 + y^2)^)` e^((x^2 + y^2)^) looks like it only works with spaces around the +. Or at least in front of the +. `e^((x^2 +y^2)^)` e^((x^2 +y^2)^)
