How do I format my comments?

Instructions are provided from the "Help" link under each comment box. The usual things are as follows:

  • Italics: *text in italics*
  • Bold: **text in bold**
  • Links: [link text](link URL)

Quick aside: if your link URL has parentheses in them, you will need to "escape" the close-paren. Insert a backslash character ("\") into the URL in front of the close-paren.

  • Blockquotes: at the beginning of a line: > quoted text

More information about the Markdown syntax can be found at daringfireball.net.

I suggest adding that link to the help sheet or the about page-- I had no idea there were formatting options beyond what was on the help sheet.
