Format posts in the community using markdown.

You can customize your post formatting as follows:

Header: Add a "#" before your text to make it a header
Subheader: Add a "##" before your text to make it a subheader
Smaller Subheader: Add a "###" before your text
italics: Add a "*" before/after your text to make it italic
bold: Add a "**" before/after your text to make it bold
strikethrough : Add a "~~" before and after your text to apply a strikethrough

Indent: Add ">" before your text to indent it as a custom quote style
@name: Add a "@" and start typing someone's name to tag them in your post
Auto-Embed: Paste a URL to auto-embed files
Custom Link Text: Here this text is a link.
Wrap the text you want to be a link in [] followed by () containing the URL
Lists: If you use "-" or "1." as bullets for your lists, they will be formatted automatically.

In addition you can add pictures to your posts by clicking on " Attach Images" at the bottom of the editor.

After you publish a post, you can always go back and edit it by clicking on the title of the post. This will open a new window where you have the option to edit or delete your post.

Please note that pictures can not be edited or deleted from a post that is already published. You can only edit your title, text and settings. If you wish to delete or change a picture from a post that is already published, you have to delete the entire post and re-post it.

Once a post is published, other community members can comment under the post you created.

By default, your first post can be viewed by everyone, but new trekkers are considered to be in a "pending moderation" state. Once your first post is approved, all future posts will appear automatically without requiring approval.
