Markdown is a lightweight text formatting language that makes it easy to style your content without using complex code. It’s widely used in forums, publishing tools, and within Hive.
In Hive, you can use Markdown to format descriptions and success messages in your contests, presale registration pages, and signup forms.
Below are the most common formatting options you can apply:
Paragraphs |
|
Italics | Text can be italicized by wrapping it with *single asterisks* or _single underscores_. |
Bold | Text can be bolded by wrapping it with **double asterisks** or __double underscores__. |
Headers | We support two sizes of headers. Headers can be achieved by writing a # single hash or ## double hash on a new line as follows: # This is the largest header ## This is the second-largest header |
Strikethrough | Text can be crossed out by wrapping it with ~~double tildes~~. |
Links | Write links using this format: [Link text](https://example.com) For example:
[Click here to visit Google](https://google.com) |
Horizontal Lines | You can create a horizontal line with a paragraph with 3 or more dashes ('-'). Some content before a horizontal line --- Some content after a horizontal line |
Lists | Ordered lists: Start each line with a number followed by a period. 1. First item 2. Second item 3. Third item
Unordered lists: Start each line with a dash (-) followed by a space. - First item - Second item - Third item |
