Our forum posts use a thing called Markdown.

This is similar to BBCode in that you can use it to make your posts look pretty.

At the moment, posts are rendered with the standard markdown setup with all disallowed HTML filtered so that people can't do bad things to you.

Markdown Basics

Markdown can be pretty confusing when you start out with it. Here are some basic markdown things you should remember.

Thing	Example	Source
Italic	Example	*Example*
Bold	Example	**Example**
Strikethrough	~~Example~~	~~Example~~
Underline	++Example++	++Example++
Link	Example	[Example](//www.classicube.net/)

Italics and bold can use an underscore instead of an asterisk

Lists

Lists can be ordered or unordered.

Unordered

• Like

 * Like

Ordered

1. Like
2. this.

 1. Like
 2. this.

Tables

Tables are a little bit tricky.

Is done like so..

Header 1 | Header 2
-------- | --------
Thing 1  |  Thing 2
Thing 3  |  Thing 4

Text Alignment

With the help of an in-house extension (That I've published!), we have the ability to center and right-align text and images.

->Centered text<-

->Centered text<-

->Right-aligned text->

->Right-aligned text->

Emoticons

Thanks to yet another custom extension, you have the ability to use certain emoticons from Twitch.tv chat.
