Using triggers like quote, code, summary, details or #
- Using [ ] or < > to encapsulate your formatting triggers
- close the formatting with the same trigger in brackets preceeded with a slash / after the opening trigger
Using # will enable you to link to a forum section
Also drop down lists are possible using the trigger details within opening and closing <>
Example formatting, results below
<details><drop-down list>Text block you want to summarize</details>
<details>
<summary> Title </summary>
Your summary in text here
...
</details>
Simple drop down list

Cheers! (And thanks for the usefull answers so far already, learning every minute here!)
And last but not least, dont be afraid to edit a post youve made
I urge users to take the tutorial(s) offered by PM'ing @hubby the chat-bot here on HE's Discourse forum. It will teach you the basics of things like Markdown syntax.
My favorite are tables:
Syntax
Description
Header
Title
Paragraph
Text
created like this:
| Syntax | Description |
| ----------- | ----------: |
| Header | Title |
| Paragraph | Text |
I did not know about the details drop-down list style, as that is not in the menu.
Discourse does not have BBCode by default, and I do not think we had it last time I checked. They must have installed the add on at some point, because now I see it does in fact work testing with the bold tags. [b]bold[/b]
Good to know. I may have to fancy up my driver posts some more the next time I edit them.
I am definitely going to make use of Markdown for Footnotes and Task Lists somewhere.
I have a massive post ("Dashboard Apps Roundup 2023") coming up next month that will be using Markdown extensively. Thanks for the reminder about BBcode!
Notice I made part of the quote bold with the bold button.
