I’ve experimented with these formatting options, and they work well in both posts and comments. I hope you find them useful. Here’s a quick summary:
1. Bold: <b>Your text</b>
2. Italic: <i>Your text</i>
3. Strikethrough: <s>Your text</s> (not work for comments as spotted by @umar_saleem)
4. Link: <a href="[Your link]" target="_blank">[Your text]</a>
5. Image: <img src="[Your image url]" alt="[Your text]" style="max-width: 100%">
(Adding "alt" text helps screen reader users :D)
6. Use style attribute for font, color and more if you know what CSS is.
Image Example: Me working on Trangram (animated using Trangram)
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Please do not overuse these formats, and always be cautious when clicking on external links, especially if you’re unsure about the source.Replies

Totally agree that formatting is key! 🔑 Some tips I swear by:
1. Break up long paragraphs into bite-sized chunks 🍰
2. Use emojis to add personality 😀
3. Include images/screenshots to make posts pop 🖼
4. Add numbers or bullets to organize info 123
5. Don't forget to bold or italicize important bits 💪
Hope this helps someone out there! Let me know your go-to formatting tricks 👇

Love the alt text tip for images. Accessibility is important will start using it.
