The HTML tags list was incomplete - I guess that just linking to the specific post is easier than trying to keep this updated
- Markdown does have a standard these days - [CommonMark](https://commonmark.org/). We generally support anything that's in the CommonMark specification, plus some other useful bits.
- If you hover over the buttons in the toolbar, they should give you a tooltip with a simple hint at what it does. Here's the quickstart guide:
- * Bold: `**text**` is **text**
- * Italic: `*text*` or `_text_` is _text_
- * Code/monospace: \`text\` is `text`
- * Links: `[name](url)` is [name](/)
- * Strikethrough: `~~text~~` is ~~text~~
- * Blockquotes: `> text` is
- > text
- * Bullets: start your lines with `*` or `-`
- * Numbered lists: start your lines with `1.`, `2.`, etc.
- * Headers: start your line with `#` for H1, `##` for H2, etc. Must have a space between `#` and the start of your text.
- * Horizontal line: `---` on a line on its own.
- * Bonus round: footnotes: use `[^1]`, `[^2]`, etc., inline, and add `[^1]: words` to the bottom of your post for automatic formatting and linking. [^1]
As for HTML, any of the following tags is valid:* a* p* b, strong* i, em* hr* h1 through h6* blockquote* img* strike, del* code, pre* br* ul, ol, li* sup, sub* section- Some sites additionally have MathJax enabled, which has its own syntax. MathJax blocks are bookended by `$` or `$$` at the start and end.
