Guide: Write cool posts and comments with Markdown for newbies

Hey everyone, I figured that some new users might not know that comments and posts have a formatting standard called Markdown.
In simple terms, Markdown is a (semi)universal language that uses formatting symbols to give a certain style to a portion of text.
This quick guide can help you to write in a way that's more appealing and easy to read.

FORMATTING	SYNTAX	EXAMPLE
New line	put two spaces at the end of the line you want to break	Line__
New paragraph	return two times at the end of the paragraph	Line↵↵
Horizontal rule	between each paragraph put three "-" or "*"	***
Bold	put your text between two "**" or "__"	**Bold** or __Bold__
Italic	put your text between two "*" or "_"	*Italic* or _Italic_
Subscript	put your text between two "~"	~Subscript~
Superscript	put your text between two "^"	^Superscript^
Inline code	put your text between two "`"	`sudo rm -rf /`
Headings and Titles	put one or more "#" at the beginning of the line	# Headings for level 1, ## Headings for level 2...
Blockquotes	put ">" at the beginning of the line	> Blockquote
Links	put the the text between [ ] and the link between ( )	[Links]( https://piped.video/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ )
Images	like links but you put "!" before the first square bracket

You can also do unordered lists using "-" at the beginning of each line:

- Salt
- Potatoes
- Beans

will become

• Salt
• Potatoes
• Beans

---

Or ordered list by putting "1." at the beginning of each line:

1. Salt
2. Potatoes
3. Beans

will become

1. Salt
2. Potatoes
3. Beans

---

You can save other users from spoilers by encasing a paragraph between a section that starts with ":::" followed by a space and the word "spoiler" + the title of the spoiler and ends with ":::". The spoiler will be hidden inside a menu and you'll be able to see it if you click on it

::: spoiler warning! spoiler!
the butler did it
:::

will become

warning! spoiler!

the butler did it

---

In the end you can also format big code blocks by putting "```" at the beginning and at the end of each paragraph

```
println("Hello World!")
```

will become

    println("Hello World!")  

---

Last but not least remember that you can always use break formatting syntax by putting "\" in front of a character:
so if I want "^" in my text without having the rest of the paragraph in superscript, I'm simply going to write "\^"

Now go and have fun!
