How to do Markdown

Formatting on Habitica to post images, links, etc.

Links

To post a link on Habitica, you can either just paste the plain link (e.g. https://reddit.com/r/dankmemes) or you can create a link with different display text, like I just did there. To do this you use the following format:

[display text](URL)

Images

Images can be used in a very similar way to URLs. You put in alt text (the text you want to display when the image cannot be found), the url (the link to the Image) but you preceed it with a !.

![alt text](url-to-image)

Remember, the URL is DIRECTLY TO THE IMAGE, not a Reddit post. In order to get this, on Safari you can right click on the image and press Open Image in New Tab. Here you can copy the URL from the address bar.

Example

![markdown](https://habitica.com/static/images/home-main@3x.23eeafe.png)

Bold and Italics

Use *single asterisks* for italics and **double asterisks** for bold

Headings

# First Heading
## Second Heading
### Third Heading
#### Fourth Heading
##### Fifth Heading
###### Sixth Heading

Tables

To create a table, first, create the header row:

Title 1 | Title 2 | Title 3

Then, split it like this:

-- | -- | --

And finally rows

Item | Item | Item
Item | Item | Item

Example

x | 2  | 3  | 4  | 5
--|----|----|----|---
2 | 4  | 6  | 8  | 10
3 | 6  | 9  | 12 | 15
4 | 8  | 12 | 16 | 20
5 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 25

x	2	3	4	5
2	4	6	8	10
3	6	9	12	15
4	8	12	16	20
5	10	15	20	25
