Markdown Text

Used in formatting Reddit posts to include **bold,** *italic,* ~~strikethrough~~ text etc. “New Reddit” for desktop or mobile browser has a “Fancy Pants” (rich text format) Editor, where you can choose various options from icons below the text entry field, which often doesn’t work properly. You can instead switch to “Markdown” and there’s a useful list of commands here[1] for reference.

We have a new sister sub specifically to practice using this called r/LearnToReddit; a place to learn and practice using Reddit in regards to posting different post types, commenting, adding and editing flairs and so on, where the community will feedback on your post to let you know how you did, share tips, or help you get it right next time.

There’s also an incredibly useful tool at https://redditpreview.com[2]. You could even use a sub called r/test, but you won’t get any help or feedback there if things don’t quite work out.

Another Markdown primer is here[3] and there’s another version of the same information here[4].
