Formatting Guide ¶
Linebreakers
If you have been typing:
First line
Second line
And your result is:
First line
Second line
Use two spaces at the end of your text before breaking the line to add a linebreaker.
First line░░↵
Second line
Third line after an empty line. (add one empty line "↵ ↵" between two lines to make a slightly more spaced single linebreaker)
░░↵ to add an actual empty line
Fourth line
Fifth line after 1 nbsp. (exactly the same as the fourth line as a demonstration of its result)
Sixth line is after 2 nbsp to demonstrate consecutive
with ░░↵ at their ends results in consecutive empty lines.
Seventh line is after 3 lines, 2 empty & 1 nbsp. This creactes a bigger space. (1 nbsp░░↵ with an empty line(↵↵) above and bellow it)
Eighth after 3 lines, 1 empty & 2 nbsp ░░↵ with an empty line(↵↵) between them, to demonstrate recombination of the line spacers.
Ninth after 3 lines, 3 nbsp as demonstration of spacing, to show this results in the biggest space between lines.
Always remember the double space at the end of a line or after
Separators
Three or more underscores " ___ " or asterisks " *** " on a line alone.
___
***
will create straight lines like the ones above and below.
Text Format
*Italics* or _Italics_ will result in Italics
**Bold** or __Bold__will result in Bold
***Bold Italics*** or ___BoldItalics___ for Bold Italics
Any recombination of the Bold and Italics formats will work, such as:
**_Bold Italics_** or *__Bold Italics__* or even **_Bold Italics**_
Only _*_Bold Italics?_*_ or *_*Bold Italics?*_* won't work.
Results → *NotBoltalics* & _NotBoltalics_
Text must be directly touching the * asterisks * else it does not works.
But it will work if it is touching two different words OR the middle of words.
The formatting does not recognize the double space linebreaker(░░↵)
So if you are not careful your Italics
or Bold can end up covering more than a single line.
*Does it do the same thing with an
empty space(↵↵) linebreaker?*
Nope, no it doesn't.
Use consecutive " Alt + 255 " invisible character to manually allign your text.
Like this
Unfortunately we do not possess an alignment command, so it has to be done the hard way.
Linking
You can create simple links easily with <http://URL>
remember to add the full url starting with http/https though.
<http://Asgardia.Space>
= http://Asgardia.Space
[Text](url "Hovering text") will result in a Hyperlink with hover text <- Hover link with mouse
(Hyperlinks are currently not working, unfortunately [Hyperlink](https://asgardia.space/ "Still doesn't work")
)
Hover can be used to hide text such as:
[Spoiler](/s "Spoiler goes here") = Spoiler
Quotes
> In the beginning of the line will become a:
Quote
Two or more for double,
triple...
There isn't really a limit.
Headlines
You can use "#" to create headlines.
Examples:
# This
to
This
## This one
to
This one
### This one here
to
This one here
Adding however many minuses " - " alone on the line straight under the text will also achieve a similar result.
For example:
Text
-
Will result in:
Text
Deformating
`Inline code` (monospaced text) is created using the backtick (grave accents) " ` ".
This will ignore any text formatting such as I used to display
Inline code
You can also use " \ " to remove formatting, so \*\*Bold\*\*
will look as **Bold** instead of Bold, also used above.
Listing
- We have
- Numbered Lists
- Too
- You know?
Just start each line with a number, a dot and a space and remember the double space at the end of the line if you wish to add text to it
Use an empty line linebreaker and type something normally if you wish to end the list.
If you try to start a new list immediately after the last one without any text between them, it will continue from the previous list last number entry.
The list must also always have an empty line above it or be at the beginning of the post to be recognized.
It doesn't matter which number you start with, as markdown will always start with 1.
Example:
3. Item 1
2. Item 2
1. item 3
Result:
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
You can also make nested lists by typing as such:
1. Article 1
░1. Section 1
░░░░░1. Subsection 1
░2. Section 2
░░░░░1. Subsection 2
2. Article
Which will result in:
- Article
- Section
- Subsection
- Section
- Subsection
- Section
- Article
or a slightly more advanced version.
Example:
1. Article 1
░1. Article 1 Section 1
2. 1. Article 2 Section 1
░2. Article 2 Section 2
░3. 1. Article 2 Section 3 Subsection 1
░░░░░2. Article 2 Section 3 Subsection 2
░░░░░3. 1. Article 2 Section 3 Subsection 3 Entry 1
░░░░░3. Article 2 Section 3 Subsection 3
░4. Article 2 Section 4
3. Article 3
Result:
- Article 1
- Article 1 Section 1
- Article 2 Section 1
- Article 2 Section 2
- Article 2 Section 3 Subsection 1
- Article 2 Section 3 Subsection 2
- Article 2 Section 3 Subsection 3 Entry 1
- Article 2 Section 3 Subsection 3
- Article 2 Section 4
- Article 3
You can also add text inside any article, section, subsection, entry, etc of your list by doing a double space linebreaker ░░↵ at the ending of the line and continuing from there. Use a double spaced linebreaker followed by nbsp double space linebreaker if you want to add a space between two items on the list.
Example:
1. Article 1░░↵
Description of Article↵
░1. Article 1 Section 1░░↵
Description of Section.░░↵
░░↵
2. 1. Article 2 Section 1░░↵
Description of Article and Section.↵
░2. Article 2 Section 2↵
░░░░░ 1. Article 2 Section 2 Subsection 1░░↵
Description of Subsection.↵
░░░░░2. Article 2 Section 2 Subsection 2↵
░3. Article 2 Section 3↵
░░░░░3. 1. Article 2 Section 3 Subsection 3 Entry 1░░↵
Entry's Text.↵
░░░░░3. Article 2 Section 3 Subsection 3↵
░4. Article 2 Section 4░░↵
░░↵
3. Article 3░░↵
Description of Article.↵
░1. 1. Article 3 Section 1 Subsection 1░░↵
Description of Section and Subsection.↵
Result:
- Article 1
Description of Article- Article 1 Section 1

- Article 1 Section 1
- Article 2 Section 1
Description of Article and Section. - Article 2 Section 2
- Article 2 Section 2 Subsection 1

1. 1. Article 3 Section 1 Subsection 1
Description of Section and Subsection.
If you are starting a new line after with a number+dot which you do not wish to be a list after an empty line linebreaker or the beginning of a post, remember to put a " \ " between a number and the dot such as:
2009\. what a year.
Else it is gonna be considered as the first entry of a numbered list, for example:
2009. what year
Which will become
- what a year
And that is all for now, folks
