Sorry if the title is confusing let me explain:
I like Lemmy and want to help it grow so I picked a community I’m passionate about (vaporents @ .world) and I’ve been trying to make content for it. I specifically wanted to make some guides on ball vapes because they are very new tech and pretty intimidating. I want to write guides that reference other posts with the words hyperlinked instead of pasting lemmy.world/you-get-it.
Ex: " a diffuser ball vape head is capable of adding conductive heating if a heat soak is used, see my post here(hyperlinked) about conductive vs convective heating"
I was always a lurker on reddit so I’m not use to post syntax, I can do easy things like bold text, what’s the hyperlink syntax? Also I would love to hear any other useful post syntax tips!
This is a useful guide for formatting stuff on Lemmy.
Links are formatted like [text]_(link), except there is no space between the brackets and parentheses.
Every lemmy post and comment should have this button that I circled, assuming you’re using the web interface. If you click that, it shows the actual formatting of the post or comment so you can see how it was done. Like this
This packed in a Lemmy post is great, thank you that post is getting saved!
Not sure what client you use but in the web UI you can click the Show Source button to see the source markdown that produced what you see, if you’re wondering how someone else achieved some formatting.
You do it with markdown
[example](https://beehaw.org/)formatting guide in case anyone else wants it (there’s also headers, lists, etc)
Thank you, I was looking for a syntax list too!
No problem, good luck!
