To make lists, just put pluses or hyphens in front of your list elements.

Reasons why Trev is awesome

• He was the state spelling bee champion in fifth grade.

• He can speak fluent Russian, in French.

• He doesn't need another guy to talk to a woman.

You can use asterisks or underscores for emphasis.

Your mom is fat. Your mom is *fat*.

Your mom is really fat. Your mom is **really fat**.

And you can use the left-leaning single quote (that's the one on the ~ key on American keyboards) to denote areas of code that you don't want the Markdown parser to remove. That's how I show you what I write for my examples. Just put it at the beginning and the end of the section you don't want parsed, and it'll show up in a monospace font.

For hyperlinking, use the text for your link in square brackets [] followed by the link URL in parentheses ().

Winter is coming. [Winter is coming.](http://antarc.tk/)

For picture embed, do the same, but put a ! before the first square bracket.

And best of all, if you want to practice your Markdown, the guy who invented it has a scratchpad here.

More to come!

And now, time for BBCode.

There is a reference for popular BBCode tags here for your edification.

To embed an image, use the [IMG] and [/IMG] tags around it.

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UjNe4.jpg[/IMG]

To hyperlink to something, use the [url]{url}[/url] format, like so.

[url]http://antarc.tk/[/url] http://antarc.tk/

And the [code][/code] tags are for things you don't want parsed.

MONOSPACED FONT IS KAWAII

And if you're wondering why you can't embed YouTube videos on the new site:

Well, you can! Just put the URL in the text and remove extraneous variables and our regular expression engine will take care of the rest.

may i ask a question ? is there an easy way to make an image with a link ? like 99% of the time the image i post here r larger than the display, so i want people to be able to click on it and view to normal size version rather than have to write [ url=http://my.image.url.com][img]http://my.image.url.com[/img][/url]

like the old colorless all we need to do is paste a link ._. that was really convenient..

@Jin_sama It was really convenient, wasn't it?

The idea's on the table and if we decide to implement it, it'll go into announcements once it's working.

@DarkChaplain Pictures are centered by default by existence. [center] tags are not in our BBCode at all.

@DarkChaplain:

We may start doing that. It'd require an extra database field or some other memory device besides a cookie, necessarily, but it's possible.

I'll add it to the list of suggestions on our board.

thanks

Can you add an attachment from your computer or do you have to hyperlink it?

@Zefferno As far as I know, you have to hyperlink it. You can upload an image to CL from here.

@Xyopq thank yer

@Zefferno @Xyopq if you look in the handy dandy widget bar on the right side of the page you may see an "upload image" button.

@Trev That's where the link on my post goes to (although I should have mentioned the sidebar :v )

Is there a way to do tables in markdown?
