## Markdown Formatting Guide

This is the complete reference for formatting text in forums, wiki pages, messages, and other content areas across the platform. We use GitHub-flavored Markdown with some platform-specific extensions.

---

## Text Formatting

### Bold and Italic

``` **bold text** *italic text* ***bold and italic*** ~~strikethrough~~ ```

**bold text**, *italic text*, ***bold and italic***, ~~strikethrough~~

### Superscript and Subscript

``` This is ^superscript^ text This is ~subscript~ text ```

---

## Headings

Use `#` symbols at the start of a line. The number of `#` determines the heading level.

``` ## Heading 2 ### Heading 3 #### Heading 4 ##### Heading 5 ```

Use Heading 2 (`##`) for main sections and Heading 3 (`###`) for subsections. Heading 1 is reserved for page titles.

---

## Links

### Basic Links

``` [Link text](https://example.com) [Link with title](https://example.com "Hover title") ```

### Auto-linked URLs

Paste a full URL and it becomes a link automatically:

``` https://support.mobieus.io ```

### Internal Links

Link to other pages in the community:

``` [Visit the forums](/forums) [See my profile](/profile/username) [A wiki page](/know/getting-started) ```

---

## Images

### Inline Images

```   ```

### Uploading Images

In the wiki editor and post composer, you can:

- Click the **Image** button in the toolbar - **Drag and drop** an image onto the editor - **Paste** a screenshot from your clipboard (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V)

The image uploads automatically and the markdown is inserted at your cursor.

### Image Sizing

Images display at their natural size up to the content width. There is no markdown syntax for resizing (use the upload at the desired resolution).

---

## Lists

### Bullet Lists

``` - First item - Second item - Nested item - Another nested item - Third item ```

- First item - Second item - Nested item - Another nested item - Third item

### Numbered Lists

``` 1. First item 2. Second item 3. Third item ```

1. First item 2. Second item 3. Third item

### Task Lists

``` - [x] Completed task - [ ] Incomplete task - [ ] Another task ```

- [x] Completed task - [ ] Incomplete task - [ ] Another task

---

## Blockquotes

``` > This is a blockquote. > It can span multiple lines. > > And have multiple paragraphs. ```

> This is a blockquote. It can span multiple lines.

### Nested Quotes

``` > First level >> Second level >>> Third level ```

## Code

### Inline Code

``` Use `backticks` for inline code like `variable` or `function()`. ```

Use `backticks` for inline code like `variable` or `function()`.

### Code Blocks

Use triple backticks for multi-line code. Add a language name after the opening backticks for syntax highlighting.

```` ```javascript function greet(name) { return "Hello, " + name; } ``` ````

Supported languages include: javascript, python, php, html, css, sql, bash, json, xml, yaml, ruby, go, rust, java, c, cpp, csharp, typescript, markdown, and many more.

### Indented Code

Indent with 4 spaces for a code block (no syntax highlighting):

``` This is a code block created with indentation ```

---

## Tables

``` | Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | |----------|----------|----------| | Cell 1 | Cell 2 | Cell 3 | | Cell 4 | Cell 5 | Cell 6 | ```

| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | |----------|----------|----------| | Cell 1 | Cell 2 | Cell 3 | | Cell 4 | Cell 5 | Cell 6 |

### Column Alignment

``` | Left | Center | Right | |:---------|:--------:|---------:| | Left | Center | Right | ```

Use `:` on the left for left-align, both sides for center, right side for right-align.

---

## Horizontal Rules

Three or more dashes, asterisks, or underscores on their own line:

``` --- *** ___ ```

---

## Mentions

Tag another user with `@` followed by their username:

``` @username ```

The editor provides autocomplete suggestions as you type after `@`. The mentioned user receives a notification.

---

## Emoji

You can use standard Unicode emoji by typing or pasting them directly. The emoji picker in the post composer provides a visual browser.

Common examples: :) :( :D <3
