I apologize. It’s an asterisk that gives you italics #formatting

Ok, I guess that #formatting trick only works for ~one~ word at a time. ~Or maybe I confused it with three tildas in a line~.
I’ve been wondering how prr we poke have been able to do the fancy #formatting I tread here about it:

For example, starting and ending a string with a tilda (~) will ~give yo italics~

#tags also work
Also, this site supports text #formatting using #markdown protocol. This is how it works:
Quote/indent: To make a quote, begin a line with “greater than sign” ( > )
Looks like this:
Quote
Bullets: To create a bullet, begin a line with a dash ( - ) or asterisk ( * )
Looks like this:
- apple
- pear
Numbering works as well
- First item
- Second item
Bold/italic: Start and finish a string with an asterisk ( * ) to make it bold - two asterisks to make it italic.
bold or italic
Tick-mark/code-block: ( ` ) at the beginning and end of word or a string will turn it into a 'code-block' code-block
Two (``) at the beginning and end of a word give this monospace
Two (~~) before and after a word give strikethrough strikethrough
Think that's it.
Sorry for adding this here but it appears I have to make a post in a normal thread for it to show up under the #formatting hashtag.
I didn't see a strikethrough option but two tildes (~) before and after a block of text will result in a strikethrough like this text is no longer valid.
Check out these two tags #formatting or #markdown
If you plan to stick around for June layoffs, here is a tip
It looks like layoffs.com supports text formatting using markdown protocol. Lets keep things tidy.
-
INDENT: A > at the beginning of a line will indent things or quote it.
-
BULLETS: A dash at the start of a line will create a bullet.
-
BOLD/ITALIC: Start and finish a string with an underscore ( _ ) to make it bold - two underscores to make it italic.
Finally, a tickmark ( ` ) at the beginning and end if a string will turn into a 'code-block', try it it's cool
Hashtags work as well
