Markdown

Usage​

To have an extra layer of customization in the chat, you can use markdown. Utilize markdown to bold, italicize, and strikethrough words.

1. To italicize a word, type, for example, *Palestine* in the chat. The result would be Palestine.
2. To make it bold, type **Palestine** in the chat. The result would be Palestine.
3. To make it both bold and italicized, type ***Palestine*** in the chat. The result would be Palestine.
4. To strikethrough a word, you can type, for example, ~~boycott~~ in the chat. The result would be boycott.
5. To write code, type `Palestine` in the chat. The result would be Palestine.
6. To write a word in superscript, enclose it with carats (^) like this: ^example^. The result would be ^superscript.
7. To write in subscript, type ~example~ in the chat. The result would be _example.
8. To cover text in a spoiler code (i.e. hide it from immediate view), type ||spoiler||.

Tips​

• If you combine superscript and subscript, you can write even smaller. Type ^~hello~^ for _^hello, for instance.

• You can do `(wink)` to put a code box behind your emoji.

  To disable markdown, you can enclose the text in backslashes (\). For example, if you need to demonstrate to another student how markdown is used in the chat, you can say "To make your message bold, type \**this\**" and it will be displayed for them see the exact code needed.
