    Welcome! Links are easy! Use brackets [] to enclose your text and use parentheses () to contain the link.

    [Go here](https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/)

    The backslash \ is the escape character. That’s how I posted the above without it turning into an actual link.

    *text* for italics

    **text** for bold

    * text for a bullet point

    Plenty more, but those I the markups I commonly use. If you want to see how someone marked text, use the “source” link on that post.

    And can someone tell us how to paste code like on reddit?

      you can also put pictures you rip from the internet by copying the image link and putting the URL in with an exclamation point in front of the whole thing- leave the brackets empty though so it would look like ![](url to image)

      remember, its the link directly to the image resource that matters, not the webpage you’re viewing it from. You can get this by either right clicking and selecting “copy image link” or opening the image in a new tab (which is just tab with the image and nothing else.)

      Inline code in `back ticks`

      Multiline code
      in 
      ` ` `
      triple back tics
      ` ` `
      

      I don’t know how to escape triple back tics inside a code block, just ignore the spaces
