been searching site for an explanation of what the editor (or whatever it's called) options mean but can't find anything.
most all of them i know but what i'm looking for is if i want to type a code /command ,i don't see what to use ?
the "blockquote" ("), what does it do ?
the preformatted text (</>), what does it do ?
how does it display in one's post ?
there's no preview available from what i can see.
the "editor" i'm meaning is this
From left to right:
the B
Example: It makes Words bold.
the I
Example: It makes Words italic.
The Chain
Example. With that You can create Links.
Blockquote
Example: It makes these kind of Quotations
Example. It formats the Text directly and not in an extra Field like the One before.7 is for integrating Pictures. 8 and 9 are for different kind of Lists. 10 lets You choose Emoji's. With 11 You can add Date/Clock. 12 let You add GIF's. And the Gear Icon give You some Tools like adding a Chart.
When You go with the Mouse Cursor over one of the Symbols and hold it there, You get a short Description for each Icon, too:
Also, the space next to the editor shows a preview of your post, including formatting, as you type.
Code blocks support language-specific syntax highlighting:
p {
font-family: Bookerly, serif;
}
print('Hello, world!')
And pretty links, too, like this one to the Markdown guide for more tips on formatting.
| you | can | also |
|---|---|---|
| do | tables | too |
| which | is | neat |
For images, you can just paste into the editor if you have one on your clipboard, such as a screenshot you've just taken:
thanks
i see now
how to use it
lol
sorry i was used to ubuntu forums where the edit tools looks bit different
mmm still need to practice the thanks
ok no wait , got it
PS: from what i see if one wants to post a command that one can just copy by pressing the copy icon in top right of command box (when mouse hovers in box), you have to use the back quote key on keyboard like this ...
3 clicks on back quote - enter - "the command" - enter - 3 clicks on back quote
sudo apt update
am i getting it correct ?
Yes, that's correct.
You can use single back quotes for inline code, handy for emphasising short commands or filepaths or technical terms, but it doesn't give you a copy button or allow for syntax highlighting.
`this` = this
If you want syntax highlighting or the copy button, use a code block. This behaves as a paragraph, i.e. not inline within a sentence, and uses three back quotes. Adding the correct language reference immediately after the first 3 back quotes allows you to change the syntax highlighting schema appropriately.
e.g.
```css
p {
font-family: Bookerly, serif;
}
```
=
p {
font-family: Bookerly, serif;
}
To prevent characters like ` and _ from formatting text, put a \ before them like this:
Fun fact: I put a \ before the = sign between those two code blocks because it is also a formatting character that turns the text immediately above it into a heading like this:
