A link to the markdown rules should be printed right above the comment box.
I entered <a href="example.com">...</a> on my 1st lesswrong comment because I thought it would turn into a link. It did not. I had to search Google for "lesswrong markdown" to find the rules since they were not very discoverable on the site itself.
The "Help" link below the comment box does that.
Thank you. Should the new design make it more prominent, or was I just too careless?
It may be good to change the text to something that makes its purpose clearer than "Help" does, maybe "Formatting help" or "Formatting syntax".
Chuck the Help link right next to comment and cancel.
A lot of people don't notice it so making it a little more clear could be helpful. I know I missed it entirely when I was unfamiliar with how the syntax worked. I applied the 'just f@#% google it!" injunction to myself to find how to do the quotes, links and lists. I was surprised a couple of months later when I discovered that the guide was only a few pixels away!

I guess having the link on the right makes people miss it.
