How to post

Message notes respect the entered new line breaks rigorously. A special subset of Markdown is allowed, including:

bold

**text between two pairs of asterisks**

italic

*text between a pair of asterisks* or _between a pair of underscores_

~~strikethrough text~~

~~text between a pair of tildes~~

underlined text

__text between two pairs of underscores__

code

Text `between backticks` is formatted as code.

```
    /* text between lines with only three backticks is preformatted */
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
        return 0;
    }

```

links

Standalone URLs are converted to links. Also, from version 2.54, markdown-style links in the form of [link label](url) are also supported.

attached images

Standalone URLs for which the final extension is recognized as an image (.jpg, .gif, .png, etc), are converted to ActivityPub image attachments. Also, from version 2.57, markdown-style image links in the form of ![alt text](image url) are also supported.

line separators

Horizonal rules can be inserted by typing three minus symbols alone in a line.

quoted text

Lines starting with >.

headers

One, two or three # at the beginning of a line plus a space plus some text are converted to HTML headers.

user mentions

Strings in the format @user@host are requested using the Webfinger protocol and converted to links and mentions if something reasonable is found.

emoticons /emojis / smileys / silly symbols

(Note: from version 2.51, these symbols are configurable by the instance administrator, so the available ones may differ).

The following traditional ASCII emoticons or special strings are converted to related emojis:

    :-) :-D X-D ;-) B-) :-( :-* <3 :-/ 8-o
    %-) :_( :-| >:-( :facepalm: :shrug: :shrug2:
    :eyeroll: :beer: :beers: :munch: :thumb:
