Quick answer

Markdown syntax in our event app is a way to format text on the web. Markdown lets you make words bold or italic and create lists. Most of the time, Markdown is regular text with a few non-alphabetic characters like # or *.

Emphasis

  • *This text will be bold*
  • _This will be italic_
  • +This text will be underlined+

Lists

Unordered:

  • * Item 1
  • * Item 2
  • * Item 3

Ordered:

  • 1. Item 1
  • 2. Item 2
  • 3. Item 3

Block quotes

Block quote elements can start with a single or triple greater-than sign:

>>> I would rather teach peace than war.
>>> I would rather instill love than hate.

Backslash as an escape character

Markdown allows backslash escapes to display characters that would otherwise have a special meaning in Markdown's formatting syntax. If you want to show +++ breaking news +++, you can write: \+\+\+ breaking news \+\+\+

Markdown offers backslash escapes for the following characters: \ backslash · * asterisk · + plus · - minus · ` backtick · _ underscore · # hash · {} curly braces · [] square brackets · () parentheses
