This document should serve as a guide for the Markdown format which is commonly used in Codeberg.

Bold

Use two stars at the beginning and the end of a section of text to highlight the section in bold.

Italics

Use one star at the beginning and the end of a section to highlight the section in italics.

Links

Use [link description](link) to link to another section, article or website.

To insert a link without a link description, surround the link by less-than < and greater-than > characters. This is preferred to just adding an url within the text as it is easier to parse the URLs.

Example:

https://codeberg.org/

Topics

Use ATX Style topics by adding one or more hash # signs to the start of the topic line.

Preformatted sections

Use a single backtick characters to preformat a word or a section within a line.

Use three backticks to begin and end a preformatted section.

Use rendering hints to tell the renderer whether to syntax highlight your section and which language should be used.

Tables

Always delimit both sides of a table with pipes |. Keep the tables readable even in the un-rendered text-form.
