Hello community,

I didn't see where this has been covered before, but I see a lot of people that are simply copying and pasting links. Hope this helps.

This list should do a lot for the basics and cg added this link to properly use the Markdown syntax. HTML tags are excluded.

  • Creating a link

Your text between brackets; your link between parenthesis.

Example: [like this](http://www.steamgifts dot com)

Note An alternative method that turns the link into a hyperlink by surrounding your link with angle brackets < and > does not work on SteamGifts.com.

New Note: Alt-text does not work in links. You cannot use in your links.

  • Bold text

Use two sets of double asterisks as open and closing tags. **

  • Italics

Use two sets of a single asterisk as open and closing tags or use underscores. * or _

Note: You can make text bold and italics by using three asterisks instead.

  • Code text

Use the ` as opening and closing tags.

Example

  • Bullet points

Use one asterisk or hyphen as the beginning of a sentence, followed by a space. Examples are all up in this post.

  • Horizontal line

Use at least three hyphens on a new line. "---"

  • Code block

Example:

 Five spaces on a new line.
  • Line Breaks

The easiest way to create a line break is to end a sentence with two spaces.

 Example: This would be  ~Two blank spaces. 
          an example.

Then you will
have this.

  • Headers

Examples:

 Header 1
 =========

 Header 2
 ---------

Becomes:

Header 1

Header 2

or:

Alternative:

 # Header 1
 ## Header 2
 ##### Header 5

Becomes:

Header 1

Header 2

Header 5

That's all I have for now. Does anyone have more to add?

If you have any other questions, here is a list of common questions already answered.
