For the most part, you'll be using Markdown. It provides a nice syntax for things like headers, bulleted lists, and links.
Markdown is not a "What You See Is What You Get" format. Because of this, I recommend that you write your post in a markdown editor, then paste it into the body field of the Project or Article. It will make your life easier.

Note: Some file types (e.g. .json) will not upload. This is because of Wordpress's security settings, and we can to whitelist that file type. Contact a developer if this happens.
Markdown doesn't do everything we need, though. We want to be able to put information in a sidebar. We want images to have captions appear to the right. We want some hyperlinks to have equivalent buttons in the sidebar, with text.
