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. -
