Formatting text
-
Formatting text
-
On diaspora* it’s possible to format your text in status messages, comments and conversations using a simplified mark-up system called Markdown. This page gives an introduction to the codes used to create this formatting.
-
The first thing to note is that you must use two line breaks between paragraphs (except items in a list), otherwise the paragraps will run together. If you really want just one line break between two paragraphs, add two spaces at the end of the first paragraph.
-
This is where the
<span class="click">Preview</span>button comes in really handy. Try some formatting, preview it, work out what isn’t right, fix it, and preview again, until you’re happy! -
In the examples below, you can copy the text in the grey areas and paste it into the publisher in diaspora* and use the
<span class="click">Preview</span>button to try out some formatting. -
Headings
-
You can add first-, second- and third-level headings to your message by placing a hash symbol (#) at the start of a line, as follows:
-
An extremely large header
-
Half as big as the one above
-
Twice the size of normal text
-
Make sure to leave a space between the hashes and your text, to avoid creating a #tag instead of a heading. The heading ends once you hit enter to proceed to the next line.
-
Lists
-
To create an bulleted list, place either *, + or - in front of each line you want as part of the list.
